1.6 miles, 16 minutes 33 seconds

Training Day 4

We were not able to get out Monday and make our run due to the nasty weather in the morning and schedule conflicts in the afternoon.

Even though this morning was overcast and a bit on the cool side, we got ourselves going and hit the street running. Today we ran the same distance we did on Saturday, 1.6 miles. The best part is we made the run in 16 minutes 33 seconds. We almost shaved off 1 minute 30 seconds from Saturday's record. Steve and I were very happy with this morning's result. Unfortunately, Steve let Sherri know that we would not see this kind of improvement every time we ran (so sad, so very, very sad).

Sherri's hip flexors amazingly did very well and she did not experience the pain and discomfort she had felt on Saturday. Sherri took some extra time stretching, paying particular attention to her hip flexors. We think this really helped.

Our next run is set for Thursday morning and we will be shooting for 2 miles. Steve is stoked and Sherri just prays she makes it!

Until Thursday...
