Met up with Clyde this morning and did our loop over towards the Washington bridge and then back on the river trail. The plan was to warm up for about 3 miles and then do 10 x 2:00 min. hard and then do 2:00 min. recovery. All of the 2:00 min. pushes were under 5:10 pace but most of them were sub-5:00/mile. We did right at .40 miles for each 2:00 minute push. We finished the fast stuff at 6.33 total miles and it ended up being about 6:00/mile for that section (not bad considering the 2:00 minute cool downs were pretty slow). Kept it nice and easy back to Clyde's house. Happy with this workout. First decent workout since the marathon. I will keep the mileage about 70 miles for the next little bit but have shorter, faster workouts and really focus on the half marathon for now. On a lighter note, the sunrise was once again breathtaking. I wanted to hold Clyde's hand and have a moment but he didn't want any part of that.
