Big group today at with Sasha. Normal 6 mile route along river with Sasha, Jeff, Colby, Tyler and we picked another up towards the end as well. We were moving a bit faster than normal today running sub 7:30 pace by the three mile turn around. Then Sasha wanted to do one of his FAT miles at about 6:00 pace so I decieded to join him and Jeff for this. I felt pretty decent so I stayed with them for the whole thing. We ran a 5:51 mile on the slight uphill section of the trail. I think we hit 1/4 splits of 89, 87, 88, 86. After that we slowed down so we could all group back up. We ended up running 7:08 average for the 6 miles with the last 3 miles at an average pace of 6:48. Feels good to run sub 6:00 pace every once in awhile again and the knee handled it ok as well. |
