4/2/12

Sun 4/1 - AM 85 minutes incl. 16k progression run

Longfellow loop. Not looking forward to this one, mainly due to how sore the left thigh and right foot still are after Friday's track workout. Gave it a go nonetheless despite feeling kind of flat during the warmup. Promised myself not to go out too fast, as it turned out this wasn't an issue in the least. Splits:

6:03/6:03/2:55
5:59/6:02/2:56
6:00/5:58/2:54
5:54/5:55/2:51

Had a moment of worry at the start of the second loop when it seemed like the left high hammie was starting to stiffen up, but it didn't get any worse the rest of the way. The increase in pace on the final loop was a classic case of smelling the barn door, in that I wasn't actively trying to pick it up consciously. Both legs stiff and sore immediately upon finishing the thing, the cooldown was slow and wobbly. Gusty breeze, seemed variable at times but mostly out of the SSW so the first mile of the loop was a chore.
