Ran a similar loop as the last couple days. Out around the Little Valley schools, then through B-hills and out to the freeway and looping back into B-hills then finishing at the house. Did the first lap in 1:10 and just tried to keep it loose and smooth. Finished it up and stopped at the house to take a Gu and switch shoes. Then started the second lap. Decided to try and hit this 10 miles under 6 min pace. Did it just barely hitting a 59:25. For a total of a 2:09:52 for the 20 miles and a even 6:30 avg. Then a short .2 mile cool down. I should have gone longer on the cool down but I was toast and Mik'L was waiting to go to work. Anyway pretty happy with this mid winter workout. It was on a "hilly" course with never even a half mile straight of flat. Glad to get in a good grinder/ long run during a pretty busy week. I feel like I can at least break 1:18 in the up coming half:)
