6.5 miles a.m. 8.5 miles p.m. Did a easy morning run. Felt really relaxed and fresh from the rest day. Pushed the pace of the morning run from the halfway point back home. Meet with Steve tonight for a speed workout at the track. A side note- I ate a thick PB and honey sandwich about 2 hours before the workout and thought it would be good to go by the time we started… Well it spent most of the run trying to come back out. On the good side we showed up to a quiet, wind free track that was a lot more relaxing to run on than in front of all the football people. My wife came to time us, and she brought our little puppy to bark at us as we ran by. We ran 2 miles down to the track to warm up. Splits: 1. 2.29 1.14/1.15 2. 2.39 1.20/1.19 3. 2.36 1.21/1.15 4. 2.38 1.21/1.17 5. 2.38 1.19/1.19 6. 2.39 1.16/1.23 As one can see the first 800 was way too fast making us pay the price on the rest of the 8’s. One a good point my goal was to run all 6 under 2.40- and by the skin of my teeth I just made it. The temperature was 98 when we finished. There was no wind, which was nice for running, but not so good for cooling us off. The air was just sitting there stagnate and hot. Happy to have run my goal, although I feel if we’d have ran the first 800 slower we could have finished a little stronger. Overall a good workout, I need one of those a week to gear me up for St. George. |
