Upper 40s, crisp and clear for the run this morning - nice. Started at the gardens trailhead and did ravine trail for warm up - on hindsight, just over 3 miles may have been a bit too much warmup for me. Once I made it to the relatively flat Lake Overstreet loop, I did 6X 2 min on 1 min off. First three were between 6:30 and 6:20 pace, but I backed off a bit on next two (6:35 pace) so I could finish strong on the slightly uphill final rep. I hit 5:55 pace on that one and was pleased with the effort - pleasantly spent. Just under a half mile back to the jeep real easy. |
