Ran a really quick 8.5 miles from the Y through Deming Park and back in a course record 52:24. Even though I had a headache all afternoon, I ran really well. Right calf really, really burned bad the first 3.5 miles. Had 27:27 half way (24:57 for the last 4.25 miles). This is exactly how I want to run the Mini. I want to hit as close to 6:00 pace until we get on the track. Then I want to drop down to 5:50 pace and carry it in. On fresh legs and good conditions there's no doubt I can do it. Last mile was 5:38. Temp warm 71, went shirtless. |
