AM - 15 miles. 3 mile warmup. Combo Workout: 4 mile AT Tempo in 21:27 (5:22/mi avg) + 6 x 1/2 Mile in 2:26.5 avg + 2 mile AT Tempo in 10:38 (5:19/mi avg). Rest was 1/4 mi b/w segments/reps. Cooled down until I hit 15 miles. [Splits - 5:28, 5:24, 5:16, 5:19 - 2:30, 2:23, 2:27, 2:24, 2:27, 2:27 - 5:18, 5:20] Heat wave! It felt like... I don't know, a hundred degrees outside? But also very windy. I really need an east/west loop for the days when the south wind is cranking like that (20-30mph). Didn't feel fantastic this morning, but got in some quality miles nonetheless. My legs are sort of locked into that 5-flat pace (as the first 1/2 mi indicated!... although that one was also 100% into the wind so it felt like I was going uphill). PM - 5 miles. Had to go pickup a friend from the airport, so didn't get out until about 3" of snow was already covering the roads. Fun snow run!!! Some circuit updates - the Alta Peruvian 8K will be September 7th. It will be the 20th annual race... but also, the FINAL year of this event. I heard Frank Shorter once ran this race, anyone know if that's true? The schedule I posted a few days ago might have one or two additions - Hot Pursuit 5K in October and Tour de Run in July. I should know for sure very soon and will get the final version of the schedule posted on the USATF website.
