Weird morning. Sunny and gorgeous on the Ridge but 600 feet lower in the Valley, dense fog and 48 degrees. When i got to the track at MSHS, I couldn't see the other end through the fog. Spooky but kind of cool. After a 3-mile warmup, I jumped into the workout of 8x1000m in 3:03-3:05. As usual, went out way too fast on the first one hitting it in 3:00. Next three were all in 3:03. Final three were in 3:05. I skipped the last one as a precaution. From about the third rep on, I had a pretty tender ache just above the back of my knee making it hard to extend a full stride with my left leg. I definitely felt my body having to work harder to compensate. Easy 22 miles tomorrow and then off on Sunday. Hopefully by monday the pain is gone. |
