Step by step, mile by mile

AM - 5 on the treadmill before work. i don't distinctly remember it a couple days later but i think i was pretty close to 10 mph by the end

AM - 5 on hilton, 6:35 pace. didn't even look at my watch and was running this on grass in the dark, surprised it was that quick

AM2 - 5 on sokol, 6:04 pace. it felt like a sauna out there.

AM - 4 on hilton, 6:15 pace. then dynamics, drills and strides at the turf field.

AM2 - 10 on sokol, 6:09 pace. i've done plenty of AM doubles but on 99% of them both runs were easy jogging, and the exceptions always had the other run be a jog. never tried keeping all the mileage quick, it was interesting. probably a little out of my depth with the last few weeks of trying to let my ankle heal up, but if i try this again it won't be for another few weeks. it was fun though, i felt tired but not like i exerted any more effort than usual. 

AM - 6 on the treadmill. spent a solid portion a couple ticks over 10 mph

AM - 4 on sokol, 6:15 pace. brutal conditions; extremely slick grass, 100% humidity, and enough fog that i don't think i was ever able to see more than 100 yards out. very annoyed because i woke up before my alarm and nearly ran at the gym instead of waiting an extra 45 minutes for it to get bright enough out to be able to run. oh well. did the normal dynamics and strides on the turf before the run and it's probably the first time in 3 weeks my ankle/foot have felt 100%, so silver lining i guess.

AM - 6 on the treadmill. started at 9.0 mph then upped it 2 ticks every mile until i was at 10 mph for the last mile. aerobically it felt easy, my ankle felt stiff again though. just like i hoped

PM - 3 on hilton, 5:52 pace. ran right after work on an empty stomach in a bright 84 degrees. so, ideal conditions

AM - 4 on hilton, 6:04 pace. plus a half-mile of strides and dynamics.

AM2 - 10 on mural, 5:46 pace. course was disgustingly wet, plus with work at 11 i was only able to get a bit less than 2 hours of recovery between runs. hence the run being so slow ;)

really though, no idea where that came from. first 30 minutes were the usual, then towards the end of mile 5 i just took off, and i mean really took off. last 6 miles in 5:44, 5:46, 5:33, 5:34, 5:15, 5:18. i've never ran under 59 for 10 miles so to buck that and get under 58 too, it's sick. half-mile jog after to hit 15 miles by 7:30am.
