http://connect.garmin.com/activity/60945985 323B152 Home: Boot and Oval Mile repeats at 1533. This is the first run for me after sixteen days off! NOW MARATHON TRAINING BEGINS. 6.22 done in 56:14 at 9:02 pace with 148 HR average which is 85% maximum HR range for MP miles.
Splits: 9:37/140, 9:21/145, 9:05/149, 8:57/152, 8:55/153, 8:51/154, 1:51/155 (0.22). In essence, a progressive run although I was not aiming for that. I just got better at running the snow covered (at parts) course.
There was a blizzard yesterday in New England. Power out from 1am Monday to 1am Tuesday. It was cold then...but I ran this run in shorts. I simply am not ready to start donning sweats. Snow on the ground during this run. This is okay because I opted to take it easy due to that and given had I had not run in 16 days. As it turned out, the mileage was MP miles. Left knee pain. And now two weeks of base training and then 16 weeks of additional training for the upcoming 5/1/10 Marathon. One goal: Run 40-55 miles weekly for next 18 weeks (except week 17 which is 32 miles).
