Ran 10.5 miles today, but it might as well have been 13-14. I decided to run on some trails today to allow my shin splint to heal. The problem was, however, that I ended up running a hill that kept between 7% and 9% incline (reaching as high as 11% in some areas) for just over 45 minutes. This was a huge quadburner, making me work for every step that I took. I felt very good today though, so I was able to really push hard and keep on moving at a steady rate. When I reached level ground again, I felt my body "take off" and really plow down a couple of miles. In all, I felt very good today. Good luck to everyone who is running SG tommorrow!!! |
