After 2 days off to recover from the soreness caused by Saturday's long run (and possibly not helped by the amount of alcohol consumed on Saturday night for our neighborhood's crazy "Around the World Cocktail Party"), it felt great to get in a good run today. I opted to run intervals, since I haven't done them in a while, and it felt great to work that hard again.
Even though it was a gorgeous day for running outdoors, I was limited to the treadmill with my hubby out of town this week. Of course, it's the treadmill that makes intervals possible (or at least more manageable), so I suppose it was the way to go anyway.
I ran my first mile at 6.5 mph, then did 5 all-out sprints at 10 mph for 30 seconds with 2:30 recovery time between each at 6 mph. My last half mile of cool down was at 6.5 mph. All in all, I'd say it was another successful run.
And, even though I'm still a little sore from Saturday, the way I'm feeling now gives me hope that I'll be able to walk within a few days of finishing the marathon... a definite plus as far as I'm concerned :)
