5 and a half weeks until Big Sur Half

My quads still hurt from running downhill at the race on Sunday.

The recovery run on Tuesday felt good, but my legs felt heavy on the track this morning.

2 x 2,000m at ½ marathon pace

2 x 1 mi at 10K pace

1 x 1,000m at 5K pace

1 x 800m at 3K pace

Each lap was 4-5 sec slower than my target pace for ½ marathon and 10K pace, and I had to be careful not to push myself and concentrated on my form. But, I was back on my target pace for 5K and 3K pace. May be I pushed myself too much for the 3K pace run.

I felt extra ambitious today, so I biked to work.

My right ankle bothered me a little. I've got to be careful about pushing myself too much for fast runs, especially when my muscles are not fully recovered.

My current race schedule

Date	Event	Location	Distance	Goal
10/13/07	Volkslauf	Bakersfield, CA	10K, obstacle	no injuries
