Wednesday & Thursday Runs

Thursday, Nov 8:

Nice brisk 3.3-mile run in 25:56, for a pace of 7:52 on a hilly neighborhood course. Now that’s a little more like it. I haven’t had much speed since the plantar-fasciitis foot healed, but maybe the speed is coming back. This was a 30-mile week, and next week should be 40. I’ll get back to normal, and today is a good sign. Recovered from the marathon almost two weeks back now, looking forward to putting down a lot of rubber, fingers crossed.

Wednesday, Nov 7:

Woodbury Runners 5.8 mi in 51:50, for a pace of 8:56. Man it seemed faster! But we did stop for about two minutes at a traffic light - everyone thought someone else had pushed the button.

Anyway it was a delightful run; Jim & Pete ran ahead and went the full 6.2 miles, while Mark and I took two shortcuts. Dark night, no moon, headlights were very helpful, even my weak little LED job. There was enough of a breeze that I needed to unzip and rezip my wind jacket as we changed direction.
