14 easy miles the last three miles of this route are up hill and very slow I am not sure if I should find a more flat place to run or if I should not worry about the time and know the hills are doing me good.
Splits 9:08, 9:02, 8:51, 9:08, 9:16, 9:06, 9:36, 9:07, 9:47, 8:55, 9:34, 10:05, 10:02, 14:18 (I walked this mile!)
Spin - Sub in the class she was not that hard but I think I needed an easy day. My right calf is bugging me, it feels tight. I hope it is good for 7 miles race pace tomorrow.
1% incline .5 mile warm up @ 9:13 6.5 miles at race pace. Race pace is 8.46. on the treadmill 6.9 is 8:41 and 6.8 is 8:49. I thought it would be better to run too fast rather than too slow so I ran at 6.9. I sprinted the last 30 seconds of the hour @ 9.0 just for fun.
6 miles on the elliptical 11% resistance in 39:20. I was really fast today and it almost felt easy. I think it might be because I took Motrin before I worked out. I rarely take any medication but today I was having "woman issues" and it was either take 400mg of Motrin or stay in bed with a heating pad. If that really is what made this work out seem easy, I can see how people would use too much of it.
I guess after my great elliptical workout yesterday I got a
little cocky and lifted really hard for my legs and gluts. Today when I
got up I could barely walk. The run went really slow at first but I
seemed to find my rhythm later on. It never really felt great though.
