Workout day Well, at least I tried. It wasn't pretty, but I did my best I could today. I started out by running some warmup (7-7:15) miles to Merlin Olsen Park to the start of the First Dam 10K course. Once there, I jumped into 2 miles of Tinman tempo pace (effort at least) on the course. First 2 miles are slight uphill. (6:25, 6:37). Once I hit mile 2 I immediately tried to do a hard mile at CV pace (which I guess is about 5:55 pace right now). The problem is that this mile has a steep uphill then flat then back down the steep hill. It was ugly. 6:24. After that, I took a 1:30 recovery jogging in circles then another CV mile. 5:57. Better, but slightly downhill (opposite of mile 2). 1:30 rest jogging then 5:55. Better as this one is more flat. 1:00 rest (mistake not recovering all the way). 6:10 for mile 6. Just had lead legs again today. From that point, I ran easy 7-7:30 pace until I hit 13 miles total. T- 1:30:37 (6:58) 155 ave 171 max PM: Hiked the Crimson trail with the young men. It was hot, but not too bad of a hike. About 1000 feet of gain in 2 miles. (4 miles total). Long story short, I ended up running 1.5 miles of it looking for the rest of our group. I took it slow though.
