Tempo Run... Check!

Week 8 of 12 for Half Marathon

So today was the weekly tempo run for 55min.  Coach Orsi set a goal for 50min running (14/22/14) 14 min easy running, 22 minutes increasing the pace and then 14 min easy running again.  I made it...and glad to get the run done.  During the run I had soreness in my left hamstring and right calf.  Not sure if it was due to my form but my coach said to listen to the body and not overdo the workout.   My last mile 13:55 was the slowest but was trying not to get hurt.   Not bad for a guy that has not run for over 15 years for this amount of time.  Now off to go play with my new best friend....... a foam roller.   I have to work out the tense muscles in both legs.
