Oh, it feels amazing to have legs back. I have to get rid of my watch next week becausebecause I keep wanting to push the pace and prove I'm in shape. Silly, I know. So, I warmed up two miles and then ran 3 x 10 minutes at marathon effort with five minute recovery. First set: 5:59 average. Second set 5:57 average. Thirdset I did a two mile and opened it up. 5:57, 5:42 for a 5:49 average. A bit faster than 6:10 pace, but it sure felt good. Ran these on the River Trail, which has a little roll to it. Mostly flat, though. Bring on Chicago! |
