So I pretty much wussed out this morning. My head was not in the right place to attempt a 10 k time trial. I went back to sleep and planned on doing a run later.
I waited until 4:30 to run a 5k time trial. I started at our house and headed to Westlake High to attend football practice. 1 mile warm up then began the run 6:17,6:16, 6:10, last .1 6:17 total time 19:23. I'm sure I can drop this down significantly it is a recent PR in the 5k. I felt pretty controlled for much of the run. With the heat and by myself and not really racing I'm pretty sure I can improve greatly with some more speed work.
After practice I ran home 2.5 miles in I decided to test the legs and see if I could run a mile in less than 6. I has probably been several years since I have even attempted it. I wanted to break the 6 minute mile glass ceiling so it doesn't intimidate me anymore. I got to the canal road and started out felt pretty good during the run. The route was mostly slight uphill with a headwind so I had to push it. Yea for me 5:56. I was happy about that one especially during a cool down after a 5k pr.
We are planning a 20 miler in the morning starting at Suncrest and cruising down. Should be a good run. |
