My calf was feeling decent today, but not 100%, so to be safe I changed my workout from 2 x 3 miles at marathon effort (15 total miles) to 2 x 2 miles (12 miles total). I also did the workout in the afternoon so that my calf would not be stiff (mornings do that to me). After going to the mall with Kimia and the kids I ran home and then did the rest of my run on the Pittman wash. I ran my first 2 mile interval uphill, and it was slow despite an honest effort (11:56). I am not sure why it was so slow, because even with the uphill I thought it should have been 30+ seconds faster. The second 2 mile interval was downhill, and the splits were closer to what I was expecting (5:27, 5:24) as I finished with a time of 10:51. |
