Great weather this morning. I wish every morning could be like this morning. Ran with Sasha, well at least during warm-up and cool-down. We did just over a mile warm-up and then did a 5 mile tempo at slightly faster than MP effort. My mile splits were: 5:54 (very relaxed and easy) 5:51 (picked it up but did not feel like I did) 5:56 (this includes a 180 degree turn around) 5:57 (started to feel it a little but focused on staying relaxed) 5:56 (uphill mile had to push a little harder to stay on pace) Overall 29:34 for 5 mile tempo with 2.5 splits of 14:45/14:49. I was very pleased with this since it felt a lot easier than the first 5 miles of saturday's 10 mile tempo which I hit in 30:54. What a difference not having a strong wind makes. I was also surprised as yesterday was not as easy of a monday run as we normally do. Overall 10 miles at 6:51 average. |
