25 Mile Big workout Long run
12.5 mile warm up
9.95 mile tempo
2.55 mile cool down
12.5 mile warm up. Uphill the entire way. Only wanted to be 12 miles up but the car lied and we ended up .5 too much. It felt like it too. 12+ miles of uphill starts to wear a brotha down. By the time we crested the summit my legs were heavy and I just wanted Dave and Logan to bring the car up and get me.
The bad news of the morning is I forgot my watch and or GPS. I don't think I've ever done that before. Bummer. Because today was off the hook. My plan was to hit the 10 miles back down at an agressive effort but not overdue it. The no gps thing sucked because I had no idea how fast or slow I was going.... until the end. I felt fluid all tempo until about the last mile. Then the lack of downhill training caught up to me and my quads had about had enough. I could tell the legs were getting a little heavy. So I finished and started counting. I counted at a nice even 1,2,3... and got to 252 when Logan came by. He said he was at around 52:30is. So I'm guessing that I was roughly 4 min's ahead of him. Which puts me right at or just under 5:00 pace for the tempo. It is some very good downhill running. But it's also after 12.5 mile of UPHILL. I honestly cant stand the fact that I can't read back through those splits!!!!! Buggin overtime! Anyways it ended up being a special moring with the Circle of Trust as everyone ran well. Jogged the cool down very easy and called it a day. #youguysareclowns
