The Long Run

2.64 mi, 25:00, 9:27 avg, elev gain 53 ft

Fairly short, mostly easy paced run in Westlake Village.  Sort of a big rectangle loop with a little rectangle near the house at the end of the run.  Was a pretty decent morning weatherwise.  I was hoping for more climbing on the small rolling hills.  Still working on best routes for most climbing.

Two part run, around the same time.  First part was a squarish loop venturing a little outside of the neighborhood, south to Nebraska Ave, up Omaha St back to Alderman and then back to the house.  It was pretty good scenery and seemed somewhat rolly but was not as much as I thought it was.

So, I added one more out and back on Lakeview after finishing the first part.

Morning run in Westlake Village and a little outside the neighborhood also.  Left the neighborhood, then right on Alderman and then south down Belcher to Nebraska and back up through the southern entrance.

I promised Stella I'd take her to hump day hustle near Longleaf on the Starkey Blvd bike path.  Got there a little bit late and I ran in cargo shorts and a tech shirt - almost a come as you are run.  Stella had fun and it wasn't too hot (82 with a little bit of breeze).

Ran in Foxwood and near Fox Hollow, ran from my house to Trinity Blvd, then went into the c-gate neighborhood to run 4x400m repeats with 400m easy jog between.  I wanted to do at least something and not keep letting speed slip away.  Ran splits of 1:31, 1:33, 1:29, and 1:31

Fairly consistent and maybe slightly better than how I thought they might go.  

5.41 mi, 51:03, 9:26 avg

Ran with Joe and Jamie in the neighborhood and up and down by fox hollow.  Cool weather and mostly relaxed pace, nice morning run.  6:30ish start time.

Parked at Diane's house, ran to Alico Pass and intercepted Jamie and Daisy who had started earlier at Longleaf.  Ran back with them to Diane's house, headed back out running toward Longleaf and were joined by Craig and Diane.  In the 9:00's (9:05-9:47 range) for the round trip to Longleaf and back. Picked it up a little for last mile back to Diane's, stopped for drink refill then headed out again with goal of 4 miles at marathon pace (targeting 7:45 pace), it wasn't super hard but it wasn't easy and I had to keep some focus to hold the right pace until the last mile which seemed to finally start to feel easier (ran 7:43, 7:41, 7:31, and 7:24 and then last 0.12 @ 6:44).

It had warmed up by the end but breeze was helping.  A little bit better mileage for the week and a longer run to finish a pretty good week of running.
