AM - Had work commitments this morning at 5:30am so ended up running at 7:00am and decieded to run indoors on the BYU track. It is 5 laps to the mile so I did 50 laps. I am not a big fan of the indoor track but the BYU track is pretty nice and at least their is no ice on the ground. I figured I would just run comfortably and just try and gradually pick up each mile based on how I felt. I did not have a tempo planned but this sort of turned into a tempo as I went. The first mile felt very easy and was a 7:10 so I just kept rolling from there as I kept going I realized every lap was getting gradually faster and each mile kept dropping without a lot of effort so i just went with the flow. At 5 miles I realized I could catch the 6:30 guy without much effort so went after him. With two miles to go I realized I had caught the 6:30 guy and decided to keep up the effort and see if I could hit 64 minutes for 10 miles. I ended up at exactly 64 minutes so 6:24 average for the 10 miles. Splits are below (I only listed mile splits instead of listing all 50 boring laps): | 1 | 7:10 | | 2 | 6:38 | | 3 | 6:30 | | 4 | 6:24 | | 5 | 6:23 | | 6 | 6:21 | | 7 | 6:15 | | 8 | 6:12 | | 9 | 6:08 | | 10 | 5:59 |
PM - Took James and Jared over and joined Sasha for evening run with kids followed by an easy 5 miles. So 18.1 for the day total.
