April 10, Sunday

“If you are noticing the scenery you probably aren’t working hard.”                                      Sebastian Coe – one of my heros

The 5k this morning under bright sunny skies with breezy winds and cold temperatures was surprisingly delightful.  My time was a respectable 28:34, actually better than I expected. I described it  to myself as a quick Sunday morning  run.  I was never breathless, never had heavy legs, finished strong and recovered quickly.  My quadriceps were sore for a few days which means to me that I need to do more training runs closer to 8 minute pace. That will be the focus of the next few months training.

Over the next 8 days I completed 5 workouts. All of them were focused on short or quick work In anticipation of  running a 400m on April 29 at Penn Relays.
