Run 158.
Wow am just one run down on the year now. It has taken a while but I am finally catching up. However, there is a cost. I woke up this morning with very dead legs and a tightness in my right hamstring (wrong one). I was thinking that a controlled run on the treadmill was probably a good idea after the two hard runs yesterday. My daughter being ill and my wife having to run to work to grab the computer sealed that deal.
I sort of had a plan to run for 2.5 miles at 9 minute miles. I stuck with the 2.5 miles part and started out with 10 minutes of nine minute miles then cranked it up to 8:30 miles for the next 8 or 9 and finished up with the last few minutes at sub 8:00.
My legs felt surprisingly good. I had the same pain in the hamstring at the insertion point while warming up and then it was clear sailing for the run. Post run I am feeling a tightness in the middle part of my right hamstring and in my left lower back just above the glute.
Good run, great hockey highlights – 21:50 – 2.5 miles.
