8 easy in the morn. Why is it that every morning run is slower than every afternoon run? You would think that after 45 min of running you would wake up and run the last 2 miles faster? But no, steady 7:50-8min pace. Its not that I want to run fast for my easy runs, but I just like it when 7:30 pace is so easy I wouldn't think of going slower. In the morning 8 min pace can feel bad (but so does 10 min pace, or anything more than walking, so 8 min pace is a compromise where any faster would just feel worse). Short day of classes so about to go out for 20 miles of rollerblading. I don't really know the conversion between rollerblading and running in terms of crosstraining miles, but I probably just wont count it. It takes at least 1.5 hours to do 20 on rollerblades for me, but the intensity is even lower than easy running. I am into specificity of training. So this isn't training except for the fat burned. And I'm coaching some people through a speed workout later and will probably run easy on the grass inside the track while they are going at it. Hopefully I'll get another 6 miles and catch up with Dr. bedoukian (training partner) on mileage for the week. Got that 6 miles I wanted. Just ran in the grass inside the track while coaching a friend through a speed workout.
