Very busy weekend for me. Starting back on Thursday with my Temp training. It was the 10-10-10 tempo. Everything went well. It was about 72 degrees and sunny at Creekside Park. Felt a little burning in the lower shins during the faster pace 10 min. Nothing that was a real problem.
Friday brought about a 2 mile walk at Creekside again. Temp was around 68 degrees and was very comfortable. Did the 2.06 miles in 33:04 minutes. This was a 16:03 min/mile pace. Could have done the usual 3 mile walk but did not want to stray from the training schedule because of the mileage on the weekend.
Sunday saw me at Antrim Park to do the 5 miles for the weekend. Sunny skies and about 83 degrees when I walked at 2:30PM. I wasn't able to get the splits for the walk but I did get it done in 1:22:05. That is a 16:25 min/mile pace. This is the longest distance that I have walked thus far. The only event of the walk was when I was bit/stung by some insect on the back of my leg about 1.5 miles into the walk. It didn't swell up and I rinsed it off with water and continued. Afterward, I was sore but didn't stiffen up or need to soak or take some OTC pain killers.
