7:10 average pace. Met up with Nick and Kyle at the start line to the Johnston's half marathon course. Kyle was talking a 1:30 half for a good long tempo, but it was a tall order the day after the Kingman dirt hills leg thrashing we took yesterday. My legs were shot. We still turned it into solid tempo intervals, and I just hung on to Kyle's red pacer shirt for dear life. Popped off the first 5 miles at 6:47 pace, jogged, then 3 at 6:50 pace, jogged a little, then 2 at 6:50 pace, then cooled down. Legs were tree trunks. not too hot but 86% humidity. I was fatigued from the night at work and little sleep. Have done a lot of quality this week! Looking forward to some easy recovery running!
