AM - 20 Quail. Totally overdressed for this run. The clouds came in last night and made it much warmer than the last couple mornings. Could have used just normal running gloves and none of the extra stuff, so I had to haul it all with me and then keep taking my mittens on and off because my hands would get too hot. Pretty slow run to get going, but then ended solid. Kept pretending to snow and I thought it would get going good (although it is now). Extended through Coral canyon to get to 20. Did 5.5 miles of progressive tempo from 11-16.5. Didn't hammer it at the start, just warmed into it and ended up running well. 6:15, 5:50, 5:53, 5:38, 5:40, 5:35 pace. Then chilled up highland hill and wanted to hit 2 more at LT, but I was a little tired and never got going that great. 5:27 and then just called it when I was over 6:00 pace at 1.5 and jogged it in. (Kinvara Silver 257.75) Good week, happy with the mileage and the workouts. Goals for next week: keep it progressing. |
