10.1 miles this morning. Great morning run on the DC/ River Road loop! Just cruised around the loop on pretty juicy legs. They wanted to roll but I held back. I may try some speed this evening. Temps conditions were picture perfect. I love good runs.
10.3 miles this afternoon/ evening. Workout*** My plan was to run the same loop as this morning but during the loop do a 1 mile and a 2 mile at LT pace. So I warmed up for 2.5 miles around the park and into B-hills. Then did the first mile in 4:59. It was flat and rolling with a net elevation drop. Then I jogged a couple miles to the river by the DC. From that bridge I did a 2 mile up the trail to River Road in 10:33 (5:09, 5:24). Then just over a 2 mile cool down back home via Mik'L's friends house just above our house to stop and see Mik'L and Myler. So that made the loop .2 longer than this morning. The first mile felt really solid and could have been much faster as I was trying to run hard but not all out. Then on the second set I was starting to get hot. Temps were close to 90F out in the sun and I was sweating up a storm. Felt like I was Logan or something:) The first mile was solid and I was really pleased to see a 5:09 then I knew I'd have to work as the second mile has some little climbs in it and I was feeling the heat. Slowed but not too bad considering the change in course. Nice little workout to get the system use to threshold pace with hopefully no real recovery time down the road.
