When I signed up, I was considering running a half marathon today and doing the virtual race as part of that race. I decided against the half because 1) my knee is still bothering me, 2) I
Adam said we could run it "Wherever the crap you want! Outside, treadmill, in front of the WII, nude in the shower, wherever!"
I considered running nude in the shower. But I figured that would probably be even more boring than the treadmill and almost as slippery as outside. ;-)
Since the sidewalks are still a little icy, I headed to the gym instead.
I kind of strained my knee during Thursday's virtual race, so I decided to take it easy for this one. I started real slow, walking the first 1/2 mile. I could pretty much feel my knee during the whole run. Boooo.
Here is how I broke down my race:
Miles | Speed |
0.0-0.25 | 4.0 |
0.25-0.5 | 4.5 |
0.5-1.0 | 5.0 |
1.0-2.0 | 5.5 |
2.0-2.25 | 6.0 |
2.25-2.5 | 6.1 |
2.5-2.75 | 6.2 |
2.75-3.0 | 6.3 |
3.0-3.1 | 7.0 |
I probably still pushed it a little too much. Ugh. At least it is over.
So, yeah. I didn't exactly freeze anything off during this race. Or get a PR.
Good thing all the prizes are randomly selected. Hope I win!!

Did you run any races this weekend (real or virtual)?
Oh no! Knee troubles?! I have been there and it is no fun! Hope they start feeling better!
ReplyDelete:( I hope your knee improves. Mine sidelined me for quite a while, and I have to be super strict with myself to keep from doing things to flare it up again. Though it's probably not the exact same issue, I highly recommend continuing the strength video - can often make a huge difference! Sounds like a cool video!
ReplyDeleteSorry your knee is still giving your trouble. Hope you feel better soon!
