Ran the middle B-hills loop this morning with Taylor Stout. He's been wanting to get together for a run so we finally got one in. I didn't have a watch but he said we hit a round a 6:50ish avg for the run. Felt pretty good but had to stop at the park and do a potty break. Felt super after that!

P.M. 10.35 miles- Interval workout. 5x .50 out on the river trail. 3 mile warm up and 3.6 mile cool down with .25 rest between each set. 

1. 2:27-Heading East from the bottom of the river trail back up to River Road. Had a tailwind but also had some incline.

2. 2:20- Still heading East and getting some tailwind but also had some incline as well. My best set and everything else was junk.

3. 2:35- This was half heading East to River Road then some North across the bridge, then turning back onto the trail heading to the DC. I knew this one would be slow with all the turning and hill.

4. 2:38- Heading West from the Dr's free clinic back to the DC. Got pounded by a headwind and couldn't believe how slow it was.

5. 2:39- I vowed to make this one faster after the 4th was so slow... but the wind killed me. I was solid for about .2 and then felt like I was running up river against a swift current. It was a battle and I also got a pretty good side ache right as I finished this set.

Got a good workout in. The times were... whatever I guess.  But the effort was there. The only thing I don't like about running these interval workouts out on the road/trails rather than the track is that I never know where exactly the finish line is. So by the end I'm trying to run and look at the garmin at the same time. Between now and next weeks workout I'll come up with a better solution... or just go to a track.

Lovin the commentary. The times were "whatever i guess", that sounds about right in describing several of my workouts this cycle. It's all helpful, even if not what we are shooting for.
