Well, I ran the Loafer canyon this morning and my goal was to get to the gate, even if it killed me... I was able to do that and it didn't kill me but it all most did, I think the last 20 yards of that darn thing are the worst it feels like you are running straight up hill! My hip was a little sore right at first but after it got loosened up it felt okay, I am also nursing a blister on my left foot the size of a quarter, its not feeling real great, but it to seemed to get better the more I got into the run. I did a couple of MP pace miles on the way down 8:30, and 8:01 my average pace was 9:15 with my heart rate average at 143, total time was 1:12:40. I felt pretty good today especially after my hip got warmed up it seemed to be pretty good after that, and even though I wasn't pushing the pace my legs felt like they had some good strength in them, which is a good sign as well... I turned off my music while I was going up the canyon part as it is kind of spooky in the dark and alone, I spooked a few Deer and I was always on the look out for Bears and Mountain Lions, I made sure to make a lot of noise just to let them know I was there!
Well that's about it, no strength training today as Wednesdays are my day off from that part of the training.
See ya tomorrow.
