Today I ran 800 intervals. In the spirit of building up slowly I kept the quantity at 4 and decided to try and keep the pace around 3:20/800M range. Before the run even started I commented to Meg that my legs felt a little dead this morning. I wonder if I am still feeling fatigue from our 20 miler last Saturday. I have no soreness and no aches and pains in the legs, they just felt tired. Decided to go through with the workout and maybe the legs would wake up. Did a two mile warm-up and then changed the Garmin over to doing intervals. These are the splits: 3:18, 3:15, 3:18, 3:20. Felt pretty good throughout the workout and even went a bit too fast on that second interval. During the cool down my hamstrings and lower back felt a bit tight so I will do some extra stretching during the day today to see if that helps. We are pretty much into the last big push before SGM, hope the body holds up.
Went geocaching last night with the family for FHE. Didn't know how easy it was to load the coordinates into my Forerunner 301 and head out the door to hunt for treasures. Geocaching is when people have hidden boxes (usually ammo cans or small tins) in different areas around town and other people use GPS to go find them and then you write in the log book in the cache and log your find on the website. Once you make the find you can remove some of the loot and replace it with your own treasures or just add your own treasures or do nothing. The kids really enjoy the hunt and seeing what is in th treasure box.For those of you interested in finding out more about geocaching go to www.geocaching.com.
