Big Workout #2

1.5 slow warm up, then 10 miles at a very fast tempo pace, followed by 2.5 cool down.  I was apprehensive about today's workout, and almost cut it short before I even got started, but I got out there anyway after work and after warming up all of a sudden everything just clicked and I was able to really get in a quality workout.  I don't know what it is about running at night for me, but I always feel great, and tonight was no exception.  I was definitely firing on all cylinders.  Tempo was comfortably under 6:00/mi. pace, and while it was certainly a tough workout, it felt like with more work and a good taper I could maintain close to that pace for a marathon.  Much less forced than Thursday's BW.  Today's course was a little more flat than Thursday, but it still included some long, gradual grades mixed with a few shorter hills, somewhat like what I'll be dealing with the last few miles of TOU.  With a mile to go in the tempo portion I was definitely feeling the workout, but I felt like I still had more energy to give so I hit the turbos and flew the rest of the way.  Cool down was relaxed and easy. Only complaint is my shoulders were a little tight and my left knee was feeling a little sore.  Probably time to invest in some new shoes very soon.

Tempo: 58:30 (5:51/mi.)

Total:  1:31:54 (6:33/mi.)

Easy run.  Painful, slow.  That's the only way to describe it.  I'm surprised I beat the 8 minute guy.

Long fairly easy run.  Felt surprisingly rested and ready to go.  Green Canyon.  Hadn't done that trail in awhile.  Got some good paces going on after the turnaround, and felt generally pretty good the whole time around.  Jon's water bottle gift proved to be a great addition to my run as well.  It was nice not to have to guzzle water at every drinking fountain and still be dehydrated.
