I was out for the count for almost a week with a bad cold. Today was my first run since last Wednesday. Suprisingly, it went very well considering I jumped right back into a speedwork session.
2 mile warm up with strides
6 x .5 mile (6:00/mile pace) with .25 mile (8:06/mile pace) recoveries
.5 mile cool down
I had struggled with this workout the last two times I attempted. I am still not completely over the cold, but I guess the time off helped a bit.
It has been a good start to the week. Yesterday, I found out that I got in the lottery for the Philadelphia Broad Street Run 10 miler and today I was able to register for the Chicago Marathon eventhough the site (Active.com) crashed about 10 times during the process. I just went back on the Chicago Marathon website and they have temporarily suspended registration due to Active's techical issues. I wonder if this will go to a lottery next year too? |
