Had to work again this morn. so I did'nt get out until about 10:30 a.m. I did the 8 mile run up around the golf course again. It was alot colder today than it has been for a few days. When I got up around the golf course the wind was blowing pretty hard out of the canyon which made it feel a little bit colder. My legs seemed to recover with a days rest and I had good energy through the run. I was able to do a couple of marathon pace miles. It was a very enjoyable run. My mile splits are as follows. average pace was 9:27.
Mile 1. 9:53 Warm up
2. 9:14 close to marathon pace
3. 9:34
4. 9:27
5. 9:20
6. 8:53 Marathon pace
7. 10:09 Lost it !!!

It has been a great week for my training. Little baby steps on improvement. slow but sure. |
