8.5 at Delano Park on the mile loop. Miles 1-3 @ 7:10 pace, 4-8 @ 6:45 pace, the .5 @ 7 min pace. Felt pretty good, just a little nagging twinge in my left hip which I've been dealing with off and on for the past 5 months and think I can trace back to a hard fall while ice skating a week after the Rocket City Marathon. The day after the fall I raced a 5K and felt fine. I doesn't slow me down, it just lets me know its not quite right.
1.5 with the kids at track practice. I've got a 3rd grade boy that has run a 6:24 mile already this year. He did 6x1/5mile at 1:10 with 90 sec rest, I ran 5 of them with him to get him on pace, his last one on his own was 1:06. |
