Saturday, February 11
I was supposed to be working a credit retrieval for the 9th grade biology kids today, but that sort of fell through...unknowingly...which wasted my morning hours. I wasn't very happy. None-the-less, I made the most of the morning by getting sub plans written for Monday, then headed out to College Station a couple hours earlier than planned.
This early arrival to CS allowed me to try for my long run as soon as I got into town. I was worried because I was going to be obligated to do most of the run on concrete or pavement, pretty much a death sentence to my already fragile knee, but I had to get it done.
Same nasty headwind as I had on Friday in Fort Worth. I thought it was going to give me some horrible splits, but for the most part I stay consistant and steady throughout the run.
I brought my 10 mile time(previously 1:56:30, from last weekend) down by another 2 minutes with a time of 1:54:--. I also decreased my half marathon time(2:35:-- at the New Years Double Half) by 3 minutes with a time of 2:32:--. Very encouraging!
At 13 1/2 miles I had to make a route decision, short way home or long way. I thought if I took the short way I'd come up short on my 15 miles and have to make some random loop, so I went the long way. This added an extra mile..oops..
Overall, everything went great. My legs hurt at the end, as expected. I took an ice bath as soon as I got back to the house, which worked wonders on my aching lower body. Recovery wise, I'm thinking everything should be good to go in a couple days.
