Met up with Ben this morning and drove up to Monte Cristo and ran back down to Hunstville Park. Really nice of him to join me this morning and take a short break from the Ogden Crew. The temps were 49 degrees when we stepped out of the car. I could see my breath. Awesome!
I was going to do a progression run but switched it to do what Ben was doing. It seemed more fun :) Workout was 10 miles at sub 6:20, 3 miles of 1:1, 1 mile recovery at sub 6:20, 2 miles at marathon pace, and then cool down with all miles under 6:20. Felt good from the start even though I could feel the elevation. The cooler temps made a big difference. Hit right around 5:00 or just under for the 1 min. sections and then did 5:30 and 5:39 for the two marathon miles. I want to keep dropping that pace as the summer goes on. Felt good on the cool down. Hit 6:05/mile for the entire run. Super stocked after this one. Very positive step in the right direction.
Great to have Ben there with me. Fun to see him.
