Lunch - 5.25 miles on the treadmill at 8:00 pace. Warmed up for the first 1/2 mile, then set the incline at 1.0 for the rest of the run. I ran inside today because my neck and shoulders got a bit too sun-kissed yesterday, and I need to let my skin heal. After running, I came to the conclusion that perhaps the treadmill was contributing to my hip flexor problem, as my hip was a little sore after the run today, which it hasn't been for several days. Will bring sunblock tomorrow so I can run outside.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel. He was determined to achieve the goal of breaking 9:00 pace for the entire run today, in spite of it being kind of windy, and boy did he ever come close. He averaged 9:06 for the entire run today. That's 4 consecutive personal records! He is so close to earning his dinner at a restaurant with Lybi and I! Afterwards, 0.65 miles with Joey at 10:59 pace. |
