Worried about the soreness in my left shin, I worked in the pool for three days.\u00a0 I ran and swam for 40 minutes each day to maintain aerobic conditioning without a any foot strikes.\u00a0 On Monday I ran a very cautious 2.5. miles without feeling any discomfort on the high school track before the thunder storm erupted.\u00a0 That brought me up to late afternoon today, Tuesday.\u00a0 I approached ththe cinder track with light legs and the determination to complete a solid workout.\u00a0 A middle distance interval plan was on my mind.\u00a0 I considered repeat 1600’s, changed it to repeat 1000’s and settled on l200’s if I could handle it. I was hoping to maintain ten minute pace; that is 7:30.\u00a0 Warm up was 1000m and stretching and\u00a0 three strides.\u00a0 I successfully completed three x 1200m in 6:36, 6:40 and 6:26. That is under nine minutes!\u00a0 I considered a 4th one but settled for a more moderate mile in 9:42.\u00a0 An 800m cool down wrapped up a 4.5 mile day.\u00a0 I was surprised and pleased with my ability to handle this work out.<\/p>\n
