Medium distance run of 11 miles this evening. About 5 miles up at 6:15-6:30ish/mile, then down with 1 mile easy at 7/min pace. Started the 4 mile AT portion with a fast downhill mile on 9400 s /13th east in 5:15, then leveled off a bit with a 5:26, now right and into a pretty good head wind at 5:52. A storm is definitely inbound me thinks.. Aargh.. Tt's cold to me today for some reason! My fingers are numb even with my gloves. Ok, now I go left again and downhill 2% towards home with a strong close in 5:26. Felt pretty dang good about the effort and the times today and it would seem like a muscle memory phenomenon of sorts. Big mileage increase this week and normally I would say not to try this at home but I have been at much higher and with easy days taken down a notch it doesn't seem to be a problem. Cross fingers, knock on wood. :) Short jog to cool down a bit, stretch and now to refuel. Hopefully a few zzs also. Out.
