Running With LeMire

Men's League Hockey: boy oh boy I did not have a good showing but I also played defense all game and haven't played that position since the first game of the year.

A very easy 6 miles this morning! My body did not want to get out of bed or even start moving this morning. Average pace was well over 8 at 8:21/mi but that was my body saying you ran way to fast on Saturday!! Recovery run was definitely the idea behind today's run. Overall my body felt good and there was no since of anything funky.

Ran a 2 mile warm up did a couple of stretches and started a 2 mile tempo effort which the goal was to run both around 6:40/mi pace. My body is still a little sore from Saturdays run its not really per say my legs but the hips and surrounding muscles that are just a little tender still. The two miles were 6:48 and 6:58. Breathing wise easy just the legs moving not the easiest. Temp was 30 with 10mph winds in which the last .25 of those two miles was directly in my face. Overall a 7:30/mi avearge for the run to bad for having tired legs.

Ran the College Blvd Loop this morning and focused on running the hills faster than usuall. On the longer hills I focused on running at a consistant pace up the hill and not slowing down while on the short hills it was more of a hill sprint. It was a good workout and I forgot to start my watch so my watch info was for 5.39 miles at an average pace of 7:26/mi with a 5 mph wind and 34 degree temps. Overall a pretty good morning run. 

Runners Edge group run this morning was terrible! The weather was nice and everything should have been good but my body did not want to participate and my left hip flexor, siatic and everything on that side was just in pain. Stretched a lot after the run and drank fluids.
