I snoozed my alarm in the morning then didn't hear it again. I didn't wake up until 7, so I decided that I'd run later in the afternoon. I did a tempo run on the treadmill at lunch time. Speed work on the treadmill isn't my favorite thing because I don't think that I know how to translate outdoor effort to indoor effort. Even after running about 20 seconds faster than my planned pace, the run still felt a little easy - except for the countdown that I kept doing because the remaining distance is always in my line of site. In any case, my goal was five miles total with three miles paced at a 7:55 (If I'd been outside). I did run all five, but paced the middle three at 7:36 (7.9 mph) instead. Hopefully that's an equivalent effort level. My ribs are still really sore. I took some ibuprofen before I ran, which seemed to help. |
