Went to the pool this afternoon. Swam 1 mile with a mix of free and breast. Waited about 40 minutes then went for a run. My quads are sore. And as I got going I could feel them. Usually I welcome a downhill, but today they were hard on my legs. Tomorrow will probably be an elliptical run. I just want to make sure the muscle soreness is not masking any pains in my femur.
I wanted to run my first mile around 8:30. My next two at 7:45. Then cool down on the last one. First mile was on target at 8:26. But I was not doing a good job of pacing the next mile, 7:31. So I decided to try to do another at 7:30 pace. Got a 7:21. Last mile in 8:04. I was suprised with the two middle miles. Last week on a five mile run I decided to push the third mile just to see what I could do and it was a 7:23. I was happy today with averaging a 7:26 for two miles.
