5/7/12

Sun 5/6 - PM 70 minutes incl. 12k threshold run

Longfellow loop. In theory, this was going to be four loops in the morning, but after a long afternoon and night spent at the kiddies' meet yesterday it was a no-brainer to move it to the late afternoon and reduce the length. Took a long nap in the afternoon, desperately needed. As a result, felt better during the brief warmup than I was expecting. Looking to start around 5:50 pace and hopefully take it from there:

5:52/5:50/2:48.5
5:52/5:45/2:47
5:43/5:45/2:43.5

made a conscious effort to pick it up after 3.5 miles, and reached the limit of that by mile 7. Both of these things reflected in the numbers. Controlled at the start, finished feeling a bit spent but still not bad given how flat things have been lately. More problematic was the left adductor and hip flexor which I felt immediately upon stopping. Don't feel like it will be anything lasting though. After a five day absence, the sun made an appearance, which was a nice change of pace. Breezes were mild.
