Judging by the weight you can tell that I had a great birthday! I didn't run yesterday, I let my knee have a rest. I met up with Michelle for a 6 mile tempo today. Her target I believe was 6:28-6:38. I knew that she was capable of beating that target pace, but we wanted to make sure that we didn't crash at the end. We ran an out and back course on Canal Road. Her watched died on the warm up and mine was about dead, I was glad that it made it to the turn around. We started out a little quick, but I knew that we could hold that pace for the whole run. My knee didn't hurt at all, until I left Michelle and ran home. I was less than .5 miles from my home and it started hurting. I really need to take some meds and stretch my I.T. band real good. I also think that 7-8 miles is my max miles for now. I need to build up my base again, before I go crank out some major miles. The good thing is that it doesn't hurt until 10 miles. splits 6:27 6:25 6:24 6:25 6:23 my watch died at mile 5.67, but our overall pace was at 6:23. I know that we didn't die off after that, I think that we maintained that or less. I felt really good on this run, especially between 4-6. Hope to continue to train and run these hard runs.
