Last week of March runs

5 hours of sandbagging That sounds exhausting!

I ran 3.1 miles outside today; I tried to stay in a comfortable, but not too easy zone, which appears for me, at least, to be a 10:45 pace. I did stop after 2 miles, to take my jacket off, because even though it was 46 when I left, and I was wearing a lighter weight Nike jacket, I was sweating. The first 1.5 miles felt hard, dead legs, but then I was OK. I ran far enough, so I could get a good mile cool down, walking up the big hill, although I ran part of it. Overall, even with my warm up and cool down, my overall pace for the 4.9 miles (including the warm up and cool down) was 11:30.
I am getting bored with my 2-3 variations of routes from my house. As soon as the mud disappears, I am going to try trail running. I have a fairly flat trail that is 4.2 miles out and back that will be perfect. I also have to decide what I am going to try and go for next; increase distance, but keep the speed the same,or increase speed to a 10 minute mile on a more consistent basis.
I left later than intended and only had an hour to eat lunch and get shower, get ready for my husband to drive me to the train for class. I didn't stretch at all, except in the shower, where I was able to to do some hamstring and quad stretches and back stretches. After class we went out to dinner and after 2.5 glasses of sangria and Argentinian food, I feel like a whale.
Tomorrow I am going to ride and do yoga. I think I will probably get a run in Saturday, before my class from 9-6 .

Sandbagging sounds like s good workout Urlea! Hope the water recedes quickly...

Had a massage and I think I'm fixed! REALLY hoping that I can run on Monday or Tuesday. (please).
