AM - 8 Middleton. Run was okay as I was dreaming of big marathon goals, but I sure am tired now. (Cumulus silver 405.15)
afternoon - 3xSunrise hills - 9.5. Jogged out to the hill. Initially, I was a bit worried about the workout, being a bit tired for the week. After last week when I ran the hill (not as a hard workout however) I thought a good goal might be under 2:00 for each of the three planned hills (which was slower than the 1:55 I had hoped for when I planned on bringing hills back). Starting the first, I felt pretty good and flowed up to the half when I needed to work it a bit. I was very happy to see it at 1:51 (one of my best hills ever). But I was a bit worried about the next two, and I hoped I could keep them under 2:00 still. 2-1:50, I felt tired a little earlier, so I kept digging and using the arms, and the time was even better! 3-1:49, Again tired a little earlier, so I dug more as I didn't want to lose the good workout on the last one. I really thought it was going to be about 1:57. So I was really stoked when I hit the time. Fastest hill ever and the best hill workout I have ever had. Granted it was just three and not 4 or 5 hills, but it was a great starting point - and near the end of a very tired week. Ran across Foremaster and then back up the Mall trail and to Sandstone to do 6x100 barefoot grass striders and 2 barefoot loops. (Cumulus blue 8.1) |
