6.5 miles this morning 10.2 miles this afternoon Morning run was slow and easy. Pretty tight all over- Just a case of the Monday's. This afternoon did one mile warm up then came back home and was going to do my time trial 8.2 miles loop but the tile guy working at my house showed up and I had to wait for him for 15 min then I went on the run- so really no warm up. This course is hard: last time 53:14 This time 52:49 I ran hard and pushed the first part of the course up the rocky/sandy trail trying to get a jump on things from last time. I did and was a little over 2 min faster at the 4 mile mark. Then from 4 miles in it's on the road and mostly downhill. I should have been able to fly. However I got a side ache and had to work for 6 min/miles. The 2 min lead I had fizzled off. So I saw some progress although I'd like to have had a better second half. Did a mile cool down and called it a day. I like the workout and hope to push myself to do it once a week or at least every two weeks. |
