Long Run/workout consisting of 10 easy pace, 4 Tempo, followed by 2 miles easy for the cool down. Route was from Westlake Village, cut through Eniswood and over to the Pinellas Trail heading south (but first stopped at Conservation park to use restroom).
Made it down past the pedestrian bridge to Curlew Road (but did not go over the bridge) and picked up some electrolyte drink at the Mobil station on the corner (I think it was some new Powerade extra something). The morning had started out cool but did a late start (so Jessica could get to combat at the Y). The extra drink hit the spot. Finished up the first 10 miles not feeling quite ready to pick up the pace, but nevertheless I was able to. Splits right around where I wanted: 7:15, 7:17, 7:20, 7:09 (although I remember hitting 2 miles and felt like stopping and changing the 4 miles into 2x2, but fortunately I stuck with the 4 miles through).
The two miles easy back to the house felt nice.
This completed week 11 of the plan (next week will be the halfway point).
Finished
