I’ve got a little spring in my step!

On the first truly spring-like day I was able to run 5 miles in less than an hour. My goal was to see if I could stay in motion for 1 hour with no particular distance in mind. Again I kept my pace at a moderate level to avoid irritating my sore groin muscle, but I could not resist the temptation to do a few pickups along the way. So I did accomplish 6 x 30 seconds surges, each time trying to run 90 strides.  I averaged 90 strides in 30 to 33 seconds each surge.   The ease with which I managed to complete 5 miles today was very surprising to me. Today’s workout marked four consecutive days of quality work. Since I have not been swimming while attempting to overcome my sinus issues, running and biking have comprised the total of my workouts. Having survived these 4 days of work with no foot issues is very promising.
