This is my first ‘early’ morning run for me in a long time. It’s getting warmer, so I’ll be hopping out of bed early to get my run in more often. It was also my first even run with hill repeats. I was going to use a different hill, the one right at the end of mile one, but there was a loose dog on that side of the hill so I decided to move along even though he was probably harmless. So, I ended up with a couple smaller hills I was doing the repeats on, the 2nd one I couldn’t crest because there was an intersection in the way. Not the ideal scenario for hill repeats, but it’s fine for a start. And I certainly did feel that difficulty in my quads when you change so suddenly from pushing relatively hard uphill to jogging downhill.
Happy to start my day off with a run!

Part of this ride didn’t read, because we moved over to the school for a bit where the loop was too small for the GPS to really track. So, that’s why I slowed towards the end. I was going relatively easy, though, because I STILL feel my quads from Sunday’s activities.

Yesterday with the crazy hills on the bike and the track club meeting has taken it’s toll! (In a good way.) I was very tired early last night, and slept in a little today. My quads have been sore today, so I did an easy recovery run today. I thought I was going a little slower than I was, but oh well. I’m rearranging my schedule this week to try and get in all the different workouts I am aiming for, and still have a rest day.

This isn’t an ultra-serious track club… it’s a small group of homeschoolers led by one of the parents, and two parents including me are participating along with our kiddos. The leading parent(s) both ran track or cross country in high school and college, I believe, so I am learning a lot here. It’s quite a different experience to run fast for short periods than the way I usually jog about town, enjoying the scenery. I could feel that my quads were being asked to work harder for more speed, but they were tired from my morning bike ride. Track club is more challenging than I thought it would be!
