Speedwork

Yesterday's "speedwork" was downgraded to a "tempo run," which turned out to be 5 miles at a just-faster-than-walking pace. "Maybe we could go so slowly, we would be walking backwards," Andy said. I'm babying my troublesome left shin, which has been gently but ominously sore the last few days, and hoping that if I treat it carefully and ice regularly, I won't have to miss a running day. So I'm icing today and tomorrow (rest days), and will take stock Sunday before going out for my long run. If all goes well next week, I may update my goals -- Andy has promised to run the 12k with me and he wants to average a 9 minute mile.
