No great running workouts to report.
Thursday was an easy day - 6 miles at 8:08 pace. Had awesome weather.
Friday morning I woke up at the crack of dawn (5am) so I could do my lifting and light cardio before I left for my work conference. I was supposed to take at least a day of from running this week, so I thought it would be a good day to be at the gym. I was thrilled that when I got on the elliptical, Princess Kate was walking down the aisle. It was great! The only thing that I disliked was that the Royal Corgis were not in attendence. See this video:
Saturday I woke up very early again to attend day 2 of the conference. Afterwards, I had the chance to run on this trail:
5 Star Trail
It was really nice and made me want to run there more often. Anyways, I only ran 4 miles and it felt fine other then my left hamstring being sore up near the top. This morning, I decided to baby it (since Pitt is only 2 weeks away) and I'm stuck stretching it and not running. I am kinda going crazy because I was going to run 15 miles at marathon pace today, but it looks like I am going to have to skip that workout. I have been told that during taper time it is basically pointless to worry about workouts bc they can't improve your fitness that close to the race, and I hope that is true.
Hopefully the pain will be gone so I can run tomorrow morning...but that might be too soon!
Currently training for Boston 2012 and hoping to get under 3:10 in the marathon this year! I am obsessed with my two puppies, Bruno and Penny and love to cook. My husband and I are making a big move from Pittsburgh to Georgia this March!
Wise move -- I had a hamstring issue recently, and resting it helped bring a pretty quick recovery, of just 3 or 4 days.
ReplyDeleteFeel better. Loved the Corgi video. You have to rent the King's Speech to see the brief cameo of Corgis.
