Tonight ran an excellent 8.6 miles tonight in near course record in town in 53:54! Legs really burned the first mile from yesterday's workout, yet still went through in 6:31. Then dropped down to sub 6:20 pace and went through half way in 27:40. Picked up down to 6:00 pace but could only hold that for 1.5 miles, went back up to 6:20 pace w/ last mile in 6:02. Felt totally awesome today, temp was warm, 48 so it was just T-Shirt and shorts. Achilles was a little tight about 40 minutes in, but felt better after just a few minutes. Watching the Boston indoor games before I went out really helped. |
