9 miles, mostly easy, except 1 mile (the 6th one) at marathon effort. Up to the U, to Sunnyside, lapped research park, and back. Didn't actually get out the door until 11 tonight, so it was freezing cold and super windy. It sucked at the time, but I'm glad that it wasn't more pleasant, because I probably would've run farther out if it had been. My legs just felt a little stiff and tired during the last 10 minutes or so, so I'm glad that I finished when I did. My marathon effort mile was mostly coming down foothill and partially on 1300 east, so I had a bit of an angled tailwind for 80% of it and a bit of an angled headwind for the last 20%. Still, the downhill carried me nicely and I somehow split a 5:59 mile with ease. Everything else was slow (maybe a 6:55 next fastest mile with a 7:58 slowest mile running up foothill into a headwind). Very tired now, time for bed... |
