Things feeling a little more loose tonight so I put a liitle more effort in. Been a while, seems like every post is easy pace for...months. Felt good to blow the dust off a bit. Encouraged by the 6:05-6:10 pace on the flat service road for 3/4 mile in the first 1/3 of my run that felt about like I always run it, just never knew my pace, didn't feel hard. Also felt encouraged by the 5:35 pace I managed on the downhill outa Waterfall to 29th. Most of all I was happy with the 7:40 average pace for the run with 1020 vert over 7.8 miles. It wasn't easy, and was out right all out at times and moderate at others. Great run, it has been 4 plus months said I have put in anything above a moderate pace on a training run, and those moderate efforts have been short and far between 7.8 miles, 1020 vert, 7:40 pace. |
