I’m over here now!
I’ve been getting most of my important long runs in but some of those midweek runs have suffered a bit in the last couple of weeks. Work has been pretty crazy and getting out on time has been a challenge. I have made a conscious effort to do some quicker tempo runs these last few weeks however. This past Sunday was a solo run over in Nahant. I had no real plan except to keep it between 10 or 11 with some kind of mid run tempo. I hit the first 5 in 32:39 so I though trying to come back in with a negative split would be a good plan. The second half is hillier so being back in at 31:21 was pretty decent. I had some racing shoes on trying to find the right pair for Amherst so the concrete sidewalks begin to really beat up my quads late in the run. I could probably use another two weeks to be ready but hopefully running with a big field next week will be like sitting back and ready the paper…….
