General Aerobic + Speed: 7 mi w/ 10 x 100 m strides

5:14 am, 42°F, 35% humidity, wind 10 SE.

I tried to keep it easy but not too slow this morning. I started out on my normal 6 mile loop, but cut it short and went to the middle school track to do the strides. I had run not quite 5 miles when I got to the track. I tried to do the strides properly and just focus on form rather than trying to run really fast. Also, it was more windy than is typical around here. It was particularly windy on the track because the track is in an open space. I think the wind accounts for my alternating between slower and faster strides (except for the first one, which I must have just pushed the pace on) because I was running the strides on the straight aways and jogging the curves.

AP: 9:23. Splits before the strides: 9:35, 9:26, 9:40, 9:25, 0.86 @ 9:41.

Pace on the strides: 7:06, 7:14, 7:44, 7:16, 7:38, 7:18, 7:38, 7:16, 8:00, 7:02.

Split time for the 1 mile after the strides: 9:24.

I've got a busy day today. There are lots of things I need to get done before going to Utah tomorrow.
