morning - 20 SGM course. Slept in and got a late start on the run! But I didn't care. Started out at Veyo at 7:45, then went up 1 mile to Brookside, and then headed back down. Goal was to just go easy for about 10ish and then pick it up to pace for 6 or more. 1st 5 weren't bad hitting times right around 7. Then dropped it to 6:30's for the next 5. Things were going well and I wasn't pushing. Came off the volcano in 5:23, through Winchester in 5:41 and 5:39, up the Winchester Hill at 6:11 - not too bad of a drop - 5:44, decided to keep pushing through the twist in 5:25, 5:44, 5:40 and down to Diagonal at 5:47. By this time I was pretty well spent in a good workout sort of way and went down Bluff and up the Ridge at a pedestrian pace to finish the last mile. Happy with the workout. And felt glad that I could hit it after the poor workout on Saturday. Ran in my new Saucony Paramount again. I like the shoe and think it should work out pretty well. Running in new shoes has helped calm my bone spur issue a bit. (Paramount 38) |
