This was the closest I've came to speed work in quite some time. I started at the trail head and ran out 4 and back. My splits were: 9:17, 8:05, 8:11, 8:16, 7:44, 7:45, 7:44 and 7:53.
The plan was to run my 20 miler today. I had originally planned to take my grandpa to his brother's 95th birthday in Idaho for the weekend. I work Friday and knew this would be my only chance to get it in. Taylor was going to run the first 10 with me. Right from the beginning I didn't feel good and had zero energy. I called it quits at mile 9. Average pace 8:56.
