Since I set my alarm last night for 5:10 p.m., instead of 5:10 a.m., I failed to wake up in time to get to the Black Sheep workout. In fact, I didn't wake up until about 6:20. But I suppose that's the amount of rest my body wanted, so no problem. I figured I would just go improvise a workout. Warmed up through Federal Heights and up to 11th Avenue. I decided to start my little workout on the very narrow paved track around the soccer field at Ensign school. It's about .34 around that track. Warmed up once, then did 3 speed intervals at sub 5:30 pace. Then up onto 13th Avenue for some longer hill stretches. I ran 4 of these, 2 up 2 down. They measured about .44 and I ran at about 5:35-40 pace on the up, and sub 5:15 on the down. Then some easy running, followed by a couple of miles at 6:20. Chatted with a friend in Memory Grove, and then easy run home. This actually felt just right for today.
