Pretty good workout for me this morning. I've been wanting to get back on a better routine of doing 1000m repeats, mile repeats, Pah Tempe Hill repeats, and tempo runs. This morning I woke up at 6, but didn't feel too good, so I went back to sleep. Once 7 rolled around I felt a little better, so I headed out knowing that I wanted to do 1000m repeats on my new course I measured out here in La Verkin, but also knowing that Monday mornings..usually aren't that great as far as running goes. Anyway I did a 2.5 mile warm-up then got into the workout 5x1000m. The goal was to run between 3:33-3:38 which I figured would be close to my CV pace, with 1:30 rest in between each.
1-3:42 (5:57 pace)very first time running this route, so I was trying to figure out the correct pace and pick out landmarks 2-3:34 (5:44 pace) Much better effort here 3-3:35 (5:46 pace) Windy and feeling a little tired 4-3:37 (5:49 pace) Didn't feel good at all on this one 5-3:37 (5:49) Felt better, but figured this would be a good one to finish on. The goal in the future is to get these times closer to 3:30 (5:38 pace) which I think I can do. Did a .5 mile cool down home, then went with Sunny and did the La Verkin 5k loop in 29:56 for more of a cool down. Good start to the week and happy to get the legs moving.
