I was going to go a little easier today on my distance run, but on my drive there I saw Aaron and Austin doing a tempo run and I decided I could rest when I'm at the Hotel Del Coronado. Ended up being a bit over 9 miles. It was a weird run. I went out quick on the first mile(uphill), and then felt really sluggish on miles 2-4, which were oddly enough the major downhill miles. After that had to climb up until mile 8 which was downhill, then the last mile was uphill again. Splits;
6:26(uphill)
6:40(downhill)
6:44(downhill)
6:51(downhill)
6:22(uphill)
6:36(uphill)
6:28(uphill)
6:26(downhill)
6:15(uphill)
Avg pace 6:32. Felt really great during it, except the last two miles I had to go to the restroom, and I wore the Uintah team shorts, which really arent meant for more than 5k comfort-wise haha. Cooldown to add to 10 for the day. There's no way I could have done this like a month ago, but I'm not complaining. I hate to say it but maybe fading away from the team could be prosperous. I still want to compete with them, Mason and I have a 4x400 finals title to reinstate at simplot after getting 11th last year, but I think training on my own is better for my own benefit? I haven't raced yet though, we'll have to see at Nike. "She says they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me" - Drake
