With Des News on Thursday, I figured it would be a good idea to run a workout today rather than tomorrow. I warmed up through the U. While heading toward Research Park, I crossed paths with the Black Sheep doing the HCI loop and joined them for a few minutes. I turned off when I hit mile 4 so that I could start the 6 mile Tinman Tempo. The first mile included some trail and some climbing, so 'moderately' paced at 6:32. Second mile, still a little more climbing heading toward This is the Place, 6:21. Third mile, some downhill by the golf course and then some flat, 6:02. The fourth mile was on the flattish section of Wasatch Blvd, 6:10. After a 180 turn at Wasatch at 2100 South, the mile 5 split was 6:01. Then some more coasting into the golf course and then another 180 turn to head down to Foothill and 1300 South, so 5:52 for mile 6. Cooled down four miles back to the house via Steiner/VA/U/Federal Heights.
Aside from a little sleepiness in the first couple of miles, I think this was an appropriate effort level for this run.
