all day i kept telling myself to get out and run but i just didn't go. so at about 6pm i texted tyson cause i knew he always ran late and i made a plan to run at 11pm with him. it just so happened that he was running a 8 mile tempo. mile warm up of about 7:30 pace then we went. and my long hill was up coral canyon, then we went to the traffic light by the elementry then headed towards hells hole and went down there. pretty scary. it was pitch black and we could barley see the yellow strip on the trail. i was scared i was going to twist my ankle so i let tyson keep his pace and i slowed down on the dirt parts then when the pavement came back i sped up and caught up to him. i almost throw up because i had just come back from a bbq but it worked out. cooled down .3 while he kept going. average pace including warm and cool is 6:31. i hope this count for tempo next week :/
i still was over my milage i was supposed to get even with missing one double. i felt good about this week. race was fun, workouts went well, and i got my saturday run in :) next week: ice bathe more, strech more, be ready for hurricane |
