Easy running in Andover. Felt pretty relaxed. Legs feeling ok.
3/5 Saturday: 8.5 miles in 61 minutes
Easy running in Haverhill. I actually took a pretty bad fall a little over a mile into this run. I went pretty early and there was black ice all over the side roads. Busted up the hip and shoulder a bit, but I saved the head from any significant impact with the road. Felt OK to continue the run.
Attended the Whirlaway team party later that night, as a guest. It was great to see everyone and hear some great talks from those who spoke.
3/6 Sunday: 22 miles in 155 minutes (Garmin)
Felt pretty good today. The lower back and hip were tight to start out (from my fall yesterday) but after a few miles of easy running I was good to go! Tried to keep things very relaxed and easy and let the run come to me. I felt very comfortable for almost the whole run. I pushed the pace down a bit in the end to finish up the run at a solid pace. Check out the garmin link above for all the details.
Total Miles: 83
A good week of training! Getting excited to see how all this work pays off at New Bedford in a couple weeks!
Nice week!
