Workout with my team this afternoon. We did a really easy warm-up and 1.5 mile run. Then we did two miles of Indian running, and finished with a hard mile on the track. Our last Indian run mile was 5:40 so I will count that as a marathon pace mile. The mile on the track was 5:01. I told my guys that I would pace them at a 5 minute mile pace and I wanted them to stay with me as long as possible. Chris stayed with me and wanted to push around 1000 meters so I told him to go ahead, the others hung in there pretty good. Chris ran a 4:54, I was 5:01, and my next three guys were between 5:11 and 5:14. The others were about 10- 15 seconds back. Everyone was hurting except me and Chris, we could have done at least one more at that pace, or so it felt. I was proud of my guys, I have been working them hard and they are tired, but it will pay off. We cooled down for a mile afterwards and I had to drive over to Logan for a class, so my run was short and sweet today. I still have a nice little cough and some congestion in my sinus area, but I am slowly starting to get some strength back. It felt weird to run that fast since I haven't done it in a while, but it also felt good. (Hurricane-521 miles) |
