October 26th, Friday

With the threat of a very wet nor’easter looming for the next 24 hours, it seemed imperative that I get a decent workout in this afternoon.  Wednesday and Thursday were days of  minimal training accomplishments. My legs were sore and heavy from the deceivingly hard workout I did in the pool on Tuesday. So I set out to the cinders where I do most of my best training it seems these days.  I have convinced myself that my goal training pace for the next two months should be 8 minutes per mile. I have become convinced that running faster than that takes a toll on my feet bringing back some of my recurring injuries. I did a good 20 minute warm up and began running 400s with two minutes rest. All of the repeats were in the range of 8:00 or faster,  and I managed to complete 6 before I stopped out of caution. I was running comfortably quick (C/Q) for the entire workout with no aerobic, leg or foot discomfort.  This was a positive day!  Could have done 8 easily.
