left turn running
saturday afternoon i opted to head indoors at the pettit center. i managed running for 90 minutes and admittedly didn’t feel all that great. the nice thing was that jim schmidt was there and he handed me my 1st place plaque for the Badgerland Striders club championships (Long Series ~ 30-34).
sunday’s weather was awful. temps in the low 30’s with sleet, slush and a gusty wind. i headed back down to the pettit and ended up with a reasonable workout. i warmed up for the first two miles and then dropped down into a marathon pace run (6:50-7:00 pace) for a total of 10 miles. the overall pace was in the low 7:00’s.
monday, at noon, i hit the treadmill for 5 miles in slightly under 40 minutes. it felt good to work up a sweat.
i’m still struggling with a virus that doesn’t want to go away. i’ve been achy, feverish and had a sore throat for over a week now. hopefully it’ll pass soon.
