Time: 36:09 Avg: 7:12 Skipped the past two days to rest and recover. My achilles has been bothering me and my right hip flexor began to hurt as well. Needed a day or two down time. This morning I wasn't sure what to do. Should I do an easy 9 or the tempo I missed yesterday. I dreaded the tempo. I dreaded the possibility that my achilles was still hurt. I decided to just go out and do the tempo and see how it felt. As usual I went out a little fast. My over all was supposed to be 7:51 for 6 miles with a mile warm up and mile cool down. My warm up mile was at my tempo pace and my next two miles were under 7. I decided to just go with the fast pace and do a 3-4 mile tempo and pick up a few easy miles tonight. I am pleasantly surprised to find I can still run sub 7 pace. It's been a long time since I've dipped down there. Nice to know I can still muster the speed. I look forward to Spring when I can run some shorter races and see what I've got. Splits today were: - 7:53
- 6:59
- 6:36
- 7:27 - kind of a recovery lap that sped back up to pace...
- 7:01
