10.23@8:19 HR 144 bpm
Progression run workout with just over 1 hour running between 8:19-9:19, then ten minutes @7:09-7:29 and finally five minutes @6:19-6:39 pace.
Weather was perfect, set out from Westlake Village first doing the big square loop around the outisde of the neighborhood, and then the 3 mile loop inside the neighborhood. With less than 10 minutes to go of the easy part, used the water fountain outside the pool to wash down a gel (Frog Fuel), then finished the rest of the easy part. Next up the ten minutes at about Half marathon goal pace went will, although slowed down a little after finishing a mile (was looking at average pace so I didn't think I slowed down much , but really I had gone from 7:13 to 7:37.
I guess I was preparing for the acceleration. For about the first minute of the fastest part was just under 6 minute pace, gradually backed it down but then found myself slower than the pace range and had to struggle a bit to bring it back and made it to 6:36 pace for the last 5 minutes, just inside the goal range.
After the run, went for a walk on the causeway with Jacob (back for the weekend), Jessica, and the two little ones. After the walk, Charlotte wanted a shaved ice from the Tiki hut and they wanted to sit down. That somehow turned into Jacob and I each having a Sailor's Rum Punch. Thought about passing on it but haven't gotten to see Jacob that much and looks like he will barely be back durning the summer between classes and work.
