“On the Road Again” Canned Heat
Good things about running on the roads in Jackson are; 1- there are hardly any cars, and 2 – there are very convenient loops. Today I set out with a goal to run 4 miles under 40 minutes on a very nice 4-mile Loop. I heatee in my legs for 20 minutes. Then did a 20 minute walk and Jog and stretch warm up. Then I set out running; mile one in 10:27, mile 2 in 9:57 , mile 3 in 9:23 and mile 4 in 9:19. That totaled 39:06, well within my goal. I’m pretty sure that is the fastest I’ve ever run 4 miles in practice and I am very happy with that. Cool down was a half-mile for a total of five and a half miles. A good day.
I hope some of you guys are having some successful workouts. I’d be happy to hear about anything that is working for you.
