We decided to do our long run on Friday instead of Saturday, since we have fourth of July celebrations tomorrow morning. So we drove up near the start of the Saint George Marathon route, and ran the first half. We did the 14 miles in 2:26, which, considering my usual time and the fact that we had at least a good 10 minutes worth of bathroom breaks, was not bad at all for a long slow run! I'm pretty happy with it. We mostly ran five minutes with one minute walk breaks, although in the beginning we had longer runs and less walk breaks. After the drive home, my knees felt pretty sore getting out of the car. I jumped in the pool for awhile, then slathered wintercrest all over my legs and rested for about half an hour. Since then, my legs have felt perfectly fine! It will interesting to see how I do when I try to run tomorrow...
We finished off the morning's workout with a trip to Mesquite for all-you-can-eat sushi....the perfect pre- or post-race/run meal! Ahhhh....Heaven! :-D |
