“Do what you fear!”

3.75 miles in motion with some intervals

Trying to beat the heat today I arose early and headed to the Jackson high school track. I did a one-hour workout on the track that included a long, tedious and honestly  painful warm up. I was determined to run a full mile first because I had not yet done that since starting to run again in  the last week and a half. It was quite difficult I have to admit. But things got better after about 20 minutes of jogging and stretching.  I then did 4 x 200m and 1 x 400m at between 7 and 8 minute pace . I walked 100m in 2 minutes between each. I still feel aerobically fit, but my legs are not race ready yet.  I take hope in the fact that this was the best or nearest thing to an actual running workout that I have done in months. And my heel never hurt for the entire time!!  I have no idea of what I might be capable of running at the New Jersey games in two weeks. It will be a total surprise.
