Ran 50 min tempo run (10 min warm-up/cool-down, 30 mins at high intensity with one big hill). Felt good but could tell that I haven't done any speed in a very, very long time! Worked on form. Recalled my high school track coach telling me to pull in my elbows. It's depressing how quickly we lose our speed as we get older. I felt like I was running in slow motion, yet my body hurt like it does when I push the pace so I know I wasn't lollygaggin'.
Decided to keep running 3 days a week throughout the winter but push the pace and do some hills. The plan: one tempo run, one speed workout, and one long run. That way, I can hopefully prevent an overuse injury. Bike two days/week and swim 2 days/week.
