If you get out of bed at 4:35, you should be able to make early miles at 5:30, right? Not so, I had a rough morning. I did get on the treadmill and warm up some there, so I did get something done. I then met the group at a new location, 2700 W. and 11800 So. I think Peggy and I thought that was closer to Daybreak than it really was, because the plan was to run more up in Daybreak, but oh well, it worked out anyway. We first ran west on 118th as a warm-up. I liked that because it was a gradual uphill, and that's what I need. That was about 1.4 miles and the avg. pace was 9:18. Then about .5 miles of 30 seconds on, 30 off, the pace there was 8:30, with best of 6:30. Then a 1.94 run, up into Daybreak, around the round about, back down, then north on 40th W., over the temple hill, down and done. The pace for that was 7:53, time was 15:17. Then about a half mile run back up the hill and to 114th W. It took 1:27 to reach the crest of the hill, and my pace there was 7:39, then downhill and to 114th, the pace was 6:41. Then a 1.94 mile run back to the cars, with one minute on, one off. My average pace there was 7:45.
This is probably too much detail of the run (translation: boring to everyone reading) but I like seeing 6's and 7's before my avg. pace, it's been a long time since I've seen them, so I need to record them because they may not last! You never know. It was a good workout, I felt pretty beat up after. I'm trying to push the limits, but not go over them, wherever that point is. I always enjoy running with everyone in the group, they are the greatest! Bingham Butt Kickers Rule! (I can say that because I don't think Michelle M. reads the blog.) |
