Campus loop w/ Brandon - 9.25 miles, averaged 7:42. Then back to the gym for 6 x Atrium Strides (1.25 miles). Got Brandon to breathe a little on those :-) I leaned over my shoulder and ribbed him a bit: "Hey, we are running ~4:40-4:45 pace or just under your 10k PR pace!!"
The wind was 100% headwind w/ 30-40MPH gusts through a few steretches. One 8:10 for one of those miles. ~6:30 effort :). Very enjoyable run even with an almost stopped-in-your-tracks head wind. Ran on part of the new 231 extension for the first time. I think it is around mile ~18-20 of a 24-mile long run loop I marked out for 3 and 4 weeks from now. Going to go LONG this buildup. Two 24s instead of one 24 like last spring.
Feeling good.
Late: 35 minutes of rolling, stretching, hips and glutes + light core
