Today’s Run
Today was the final run for week 1 of my “Return to Running” program, which includes:
- 3 to 5-minute walking warmup
- 4 x 4-minute run / 2-minute walk
- 3 to 5+ minute walking cooldown
It was a very pleasant evening for a run with mostly clear skies and temps in the mid 70s. My legs are pretty sore from an intense leg workout last night, so the running segments were very, very easy through the streets of Bellevue. In total I got in 16 minutes of running and 17+ minutes of walking for 2.9-miles completed. Since this was the end of week 1, tomorrow will be a rest day before week 2 begins on Thursday.
- Miles: 2.9
- Time: 33:43 minutes
- Pace: 11:39
- Shoes: Saucony Kinvara 3 (#8)
- Route: Bellevue – Sawyer Brown, Todd Pries, Baugh
Next Step to New York
I already knew that I had guaranteed entry to the 2013 New York City Marathon, but it was still exciting to get this email today as confirmation. Now just have to remember to sign-up tomorrow!
