30min @ half marathon effort (5:55 p/m) I stayed true to form, actually a little conservative the first ten minutes, 6:00pace, to feel out the achilles (which is much better), then the second ten I inched down to 5:56, felt great, last 10 minutes 5:52... and then I got a little over-zealous and dipped to 5:49 which definitely felt faster than half marathon effort. but it was only for four minutes. achilles is fine. tight and sore but fine...
I am going to miss Gold's Gym! I've just gotten all those meat heads used to me! Just this week we were flexing our muscles together "grrrrr" (their's are a little bigger than mine, just a tinsey bit)... *sigh* I'll have to find new meat heads. :(
By the way... I predict a 2:43:00 or under! 6:13ish pace |
