First running in 8 weeks

The track is nearing completion at Sewanee. Should be done by the end of the month.  I decided to do one brief running workout on the brand new (artificial) turf soccer field today.  

 

Stretches, drills, bands 100m

Hoka Rocket X2s on

4 x 100m ~15.5

2 x 100m w/ 30 sec rest - 15.46, 16.40

3.5 min rest

2 x 100m w/ 30 sec rest - 14.48, 15.06

Nothing fast, just getting my feet used to running.  Didn't want to push it.  Felt the same pains as usual in the foot, otherwise, ok.  Definitely pretty labored, not in the shape for the specificity of running.  HR hit near 170 end the first 100 and near 180 on the second.  Going to take a few workouts but that won't be for a while.  Not planning to do more than one workout per week til probably October and not another one til last week in Aug when I get back from Europe.  

144 lbs after workout.

Might be on the bike tomorrow.  

New track.  Still trying to get used to the color.  Such weird contract - the gray track and dark purple exchange zones.
