I thought I would be too tired to run more than easy today. But after I pushed up the hill for the first 1.5 miles, I figured I would see just how much I had in me. The hardest part of the hill was after the Flying J going up Brigham Rd. My slowest pace was a 9:10. Mile 5 and 6 were the 2 miles I pushed the hardest. It still seemed like I didn't run hard. Mile 7 was recovery and then I pushed the 8th mile. The 8th mile had a slight uphill to it so I was unable to really push it like the others. I ran easy the last half mile.
Mile Splits: 8:27 (uphill), 8:16 (big Uphill/downhill), 7:52 (down), 8:03 (down), 7:27 (rolling Bloomington hills), 7:06 (flat trail), 8:14 (recovery), 7:38 (slight uphill), & last 0.5 mile (recovery) at 8:36 pace.
Swam 0.7 mile (50 lengths) in pool. I was too tired to do a mile. |
