Workout Thursday

I ran a tempo run on the Club Challenge course in order to get used to some hills. Even without this extra ingredient my legs were not co-operative at all this morning. Plan was to do 15km, but I was able to complete only 6.2 miles (of course with slower than maraton pace, 6.02/mile). But at that point both legs were just killing me. That's not good thing if you are running only moderate, not hard/all out tempo run. So the sequel starts to be ready, and my expectations for any race or marathon are soon vanished. However, the fire is still alive. Next up: a couple of easy days and long run max. 16-18 miles.

I just read the WRR's runner rankings for 2008 and I found myself, Mike and Jason on the age group list. Nice one.
