Running tempo (Road) 46:21 [3] 6.29 mi (7:22 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel Landreth II
Another mild day here for running.
I was going to give it a go at the track today, just to see how much I can push the pace without hurting the groin. Well, both Norwood and 7 Hills had soccer game going on, so track workout was aborted.
Laurie, Cathy, and I ended up going back to the Spot for a tempo run. We were going at a fairly decent pace in the beginning, but it was mostly downhill so was still at a conversation pace. Made a pit stop at the UDF on Erie (2.7mi, 20:55 - 7:45/mi). After that, I made a left onto Marburg for a shorter route while the girls continued on Erie. Running by myself, I might have picked up the pace a bit, until I fizzled out somewhat around 4.3mi (~31:00). I struggled a bit up Madison to the intersection at Edwards (2.1mi, 14:25 - 6:52/mi from UDF), where I was saved by the traffic light. :) I probably waited about 2min for the WALK sign to come on, so had plenty of time to smooth out my breathing and recover. From there I pushed it up the big hill pass Withrow, then down and up one last hill for the finish back at the Spot (1.49mi, 11:01 - 7:23/mi from Edwards).
Groin is a bit sore now, but was fine during the run. Will ice it tonight and bring some anti-inflammatories along for the weekend just in case. Oh yeah, legs aren't enjoying the pounding on the road that much. Will need to be careful about shin splints as I increase the mileage gradually.
