Met up with Kim at 5:50am.  Ran a little over three miles  warm up then 4 x 800s at goal half marathon (fantasy goal that is) pace.  We were winded and it was colder than I thought after removing some layers.  I felt cold and VERY achy the entire run.  Like arthritis OLD LADY phenomena.  This happens from time to time. At least it is now and NOT this Saturday.  800s were run at 6:36, 6:44 (good uphill portion), 6:32, 6:20 (some downhill).  At least feeling crappy I was still able to go faster than goal pace.   We ran 800s in between each one at an easy 7:50-8:10 pace.  Kim did really well but not as well as she hoped.  We blame it on DARKNESS, potholes to worry about and UNusually busy at all our crossings.  Of course we were running our 800s at these points.  Total miles here= 10.1.  Oh yah our "warmup" AP for two miles was  7:41.  Good thing I made her do an 8:35 mile the first one.  Geez.   Cooldown for 2.8 miles at 7:42 pace.  LATER at the REC center with my hunny:  5 miles on the track.  First one really easy with Troy (9:25) then I just felt really good so did a relaxed easy pace for four more miles, last two at 7:42, 7:42.  AP for 5 miles=  8:18.  Then I biked for 12 minutes moderate pace.  Ended with upper body three sets of 10-12 reps (7 types of arm excercises) and front plank x 60 sec and 30 sec each side.  Took the weights down a notch.  I still have residual soreness from the fall.  Don't want reminders.  : D.  15.1 total miles for the day.

Lots of miles and nice variety! I'm with you on the need for a slow warm-up---we would really make good running partners! We could bust out the gates each day with a 9:00 mile until the creaking stops and then run as many 8:45's as we need to before we really start cranking! :) I think your hmp speed was spectacular in the conditions! You and your body have a nice habit of saving it for the race and then tearing it up! I wish I could do that--I tend to have better workouts than races. Hopefully I am fixing to change this pattern!

the MIND is a powerful thing. My body just LISTENS too well. It starts to "break down" before a race to pretend it can't possibly race, but then my MIND is a very POOR listener to the BODY. So I find myself at the starting line each time.
