Pre-race easy run and strides.

7:02 pace, west river road on day 4 of the new place. 

6:50 pace, Como lake loop. On Day 3 of running from my new place, I got to run in real live sub-60 degree temps. Unfortunately, I woke up absolutely roasted after a long day yesterday, and the fatigue carried over onto my run. Hopefully I can get things under control by race day. The route itself could use a modificaiton here or there, but if it works out, it'll be the first commonly used loop run I've had since moving to MN. 

Second day at our new place. Finally we are getting a reprieve from the heat so getting started at 9:45 or so wasn't too much of an issue. I did the Reservoir woods run that I had planned. I'm not sure how often I will do this. It is definitely very fun to explore the Res woods area; today I ran through some small trails I hadn't been on much before. It is a really beautiful place. On the other hand, it feels like a bit of a drag to run so far along Roselawn and not get there until 4 miles in. Averaged 6:46 pace, including 6:30 pace coming back due to a 8,8,4 workout I did that ended up being more like 8,4,4,4 due to a stop light. 

6:57 pace on my first run in my new place! I haven't done much running in the Prospect Park area, but it is kind of nice in the summer. One thing I didn't anticipate was how much hillier my runs will be. Obviously you have to get back up the final hill but the Prospect Park area is also pretty hilly, and the new route puts it so you run on the hilliest portion of east river road.
