As I usually don't run four days in a row, I thought this would be worth noting. Also, as I remarked to the wife earlier, a week ago at 5:30 p.m. there were several people out walking and running, but after the end of daylight savings time last weekend, tonight I was the only one out. Does that make me obsessive?
I ran 7.5 miles total tonight, and it's probably good I'm traveling to Baltimore for a few days and won't have time to run since my legs could use the rest. Tonight's workout included three 1-mile intervals at 8-minute miles (or better) followed by 800 meters of recovery. I'm noticing that the recovery runs and easy runs are still at a fairly quick pace (for me) at 9:30 or just a little quicker. It's funny because I'll feel like I'm trudging along and look at my pace and it'll say something like "9:23" and I'll say to myself, "Wow." Interesting how all that training combined with cooler weather actually pays off. Let's hope that carries over to the race in about a month.
