Lunch - 4 easy miles on the treadmill, average just over 8:00/mile. I have had some soreness in my right hip flexor this week, possibly due to my haste to start putting in tempo miles after having a couple months of very poor training. The rest of this week and all next week will be easy runs, about 8:00 pace, to see if I can get my hip flexor feeling better. It did feel a bit better today than yesterday after my run, so hopefully I am on the right track. After the run, did bench press, arm extensions, biceps curls, then abs and lower back.
PM - ran 1.5 miles with Samuel, average pace of 10:19/mile. He did a great job today of running at a steady pace. The average pace was steadily dropping the entire time until, with about 1/2 mile to go, he asked if we could slow down a little. Since he has already gotten his smoothie for this week, we slowed down just a little. I hope that running with him helps him to concentrate more on his schoolwork. |
