Week 4 Review

Sorry for the late post. Last week was busy around here.

At any rate, my weekday runs were fairly uneventful. Tuesday and Wednesday were treadmill run nights. I took it fairly easy since I'm still coming off an injury and didn't want to put myself even further behind.

I had some errands to do in Mobile on Thursday after work, so I decided to run my 3 miles at a local park. This was the first time I started to push the pace a little. I took the first mile at an easy pace, then kicked it up a little for the second mile and hit it hard the last mile. At 31:59 it's nothing to brag about, but I'm starting to feel better about my Achilles.

Saturday was an easy cross training day for me since I wanted to spend as much time with Haley as I could; I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill. My long run was on Sunday; I ran my 9 miles in 1:42:14. I hit a groove and just cruised for 8.5 miles.

The last half mile was rough, though. It felt like my legs gained 20 pounds in a matter of seconds. I pushed through and kept my pace, but I can tell this is going to be a tough wall to break through in the future.

Thanks for reading!
