Biggish workout: Did the same 10 mile DC loop as last weeks workout with a 1 mile, and 2 mile tempo in the middle. My stomach was unsettled this morning (has been all week) so I didn't know what would happen once the tempo started. But after a 2.5 mile warm up I started the first mile in the same place I did it from last week. 4:54- it felt choppy but I was surprised with the time. Jogged from the finish of this mile over to the River Bridge by the DC and started the 2 mile set from there to River Road. 2 mile in 10:19 (4:58, 5:21). This set felt a little more smooth and not as choppy as the first mile set. But I still slowed more than I wanted on the second mile with the little hills. Overall I'm pretty pleased. Big improvement from last weeks sets of 4:58, 10:33. However today I did it in the cool morning and last week it was in the afternoon at around 90 F and last week I'd already ran 10 miles that morning...
No run tonight. It is our 10 year anniversary today. Mik'L had meetings until after 8 and so when she got home we just wanted food. Ordered some pizza from the factory and ate way too much.
