Eight Mile Recovery Run
After last night’s extended Kara Goucher NIKE+ workout, I just wanted an easy run tonight. Initially I was planning a four or five miler, but I felt good and ended up running eight. After an opening 7:39 mile I averaged seven miles between 7:08 and 7:19 with a rogue mile of 6:50 thrown in for [...]
Lunchtime Six Miler – Hottest Run Of The Year So Far
Still enjoying the marathon recovery period (actually I could quite easily get hooked on this running for fun business), and today managed to sneak out during lunch for a steady six miles in the sun.
