An ok week
I had an ok week this week. It started last Monday night when i wanted to get my hill workout in. I felt my knee kinda get tweeked going down the stairs before the workout, but headed out anyway - and managed to complete the workout (60, 75, 90, 60, 75, 90) - but had a sore knee that night and the next day. The workout followed an interval session the day before - which i'm guessing didn't help the knee situation. So, I decided to take it easy - no running Tue/Wnd/Thr. Friday was a lovely morning, so i headed out and did about 6 miles at an easy pace. I could feel the knee - but it wasn't so bad. I took another day off (saturday) and went out for a nice 9 miler today - kind of a progressive pace: 8:29 min/mile the first 3 miles, 8:22, 8:20, 7:57, 7:38 and 7:32 for the next 5 - and pushed it at an 8:17 pace for the 158 foot climb the last mile. A pretty good workout to end the week.
I think i've been trying to train for a 10k, but also squeeze in hill workouts - which is probably too much. And now - starting next week, I'll be entering my mile training plan. I may stick with the hills for another week - but really need to just get by and not worry much about the 10k. I may do a tempo during the week on a run home - but should really consider just running home if it the legs aren't feeling great, since I'll need to be able to hit the intervals on Sunday.
