Greenbelt - 1:00
Watched the state track meet and then ran on the greenbelt and home. After a steady warmup, I did one LT mile at 5:58 to speed things up a little. Then I did 0.4 miles (640-650 meters) in 1:54 - just under 4:45/mile pace. I finished with a cooldown jog of 35 minutes with 5 x 200 meters fast but relaxed (32 seconds) mixed in.
Just for kicks, I'm thinking I might do the Main Street Mile next month. It's not fast course - 8 90 degree turns will do that - but there is good competition and it's an excuse to do some speedwork. I also want to win another Main Street Mile pint glass and $25 gift certificate to downtown (for post race beverages). I ran 4:33 when I was pretty fit in 2004 and 4:36 when I was pretty unfit in 2005. If I could run 4:40 I'd feel good about that.
After that, I think I'll start building miles again and do Portland or Seattle marathon this Fall, and hopefully some other cool road races as well.
