I ran with Sasha and Brad this morning. We kept the pace nice and slow with the exception of 3 quarters that we ran spread out throughout our workout. We ran our first quarter when we were nearing up on the 2.5 mile mark and we ran it in 69. We were planning on running it a little slower but I guess I just got excited. We ran our second quarter when we were a little past 6.25 miles and we ran it in 67. The last quarter we ran around the 7.5 mile mark and I came through in 59 followed by Sasha in 64. So, this was a lot faster than I expected but I think it should be fine. The purpose in doing this was to wake up our legs a little bit so that we can be ready to run a 5k on Saturday. This is because I have done virtually no speedwork, other than a few tempo runs since I started running again after getting a stress fracture, and I have not raced since running the St. George Marathon in October. So, I just wanted to wake myself up again and hopefully I can run well on Saturday. On the negative side of things I have a cold now, so I am hoping that I get over it by tomorrow so that I don't have to deal with it anymore.
