Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

PM- workout day. Nice weather- about 45 deg and a bit breezy, but I wore shorts and a long sleeve shirt. I ran the Providence hills loop and wanted to do 4-5 miles at a moderate tempo pace, though I wasn't sure what pace that would be since I'm not in great shape and since the whole run is very hilly. Almost 3 miles warmup at about 7:30 pace, then started the tempo at the bottom of the Providence hill. Tempo miles were 7:29 (very uphill), 6:24 (1/3 mile uphill, 2/3 down), 5:59 (mainly downhill), 6:12 (pretty flat), 6:07. Cooled down till I hit 9 miles. The tempo felt ok- the first big uphill was painful (I saw my pace as slow as 11 min/mile), the downhill was fast. I really could have used someone to run with the last 2 miles- my pace was decent, but I could have gone faster. I kept falling off pace and had to consciously push my speed back up. 6:10 pace is pretty good, but I could have done better. I'll do another hill workout on Thursday- maybe repeats. 9 miles in 1:02:30.

Good workout. 7:30 is a solid first mile up that hill.

When you talk about your pace with so much detail, you sound like you have a Garmin. Have you crossed over?

Well, I do know a lot of routes well enough to know where the miles are. But, my lovely wife did buy me a Garmin 205 for Christmas, which I was wearing on this run. Yes, I crossed over.
