One loop inside WLV. First mile 9:11, then tried to stay around there for the rest of the run, picked it up ever so slightly.
PM 8.81@8:47
Combo run Humpday Hustle and track session with Cynthia. Pretty hot at start of the run, sunny low 90's, humidity but at least some cloud cover. Ran to "2 mile tree" with Daisy, Marina, and Arlo in his stroller. Stopped for picture then I continiue to Starkey Ranch K-8 to use their track and meet up with Cynthia. Her scheduled workout was 4x800m followed by 4x400m (2:30 rest between 800's and 1:15 rest between 400s). It's been a while since I've been to a track. It took me a while to find the track as I went from one side of the building to the other, finally finding the back parking lot. Building is pretty good.
Wasn't sure what to expect for paces, conservative goals of 3:30 for the 800's and 96-100 seconds for the 400s
800s: 3:27, 3:25, 3:17, 3:21
400s: 1:34, 1:34, 1:34, 1:31
Parking lot gates were getting locked so Cynthia had to move her car, so she missed out on some of her repeats. For the last three of my 400s, she met me at the 100m mark and strided in with me. For the last one I almost felt like I could've pulled away from her but she did keep up and it was nice having the help with the final push.
Cool down was a run out to and loop around Cannon Lake (counter clockwise) and back to the parking lot (about 2 miles).
I felt better about my speed potential after this run and will try to get to the track more now that I know where it is. Maybe some 1K or 1600 repeats to try and improve on my 5k pacing.
