Met Mike at Annapolis, with the goal of a longer run with some uptempo miles included to prepare for Bloomsday pace. After an easy mile we settled into a pace that was brisk, but felt ok (7/min to 7:10 or so). At the 5-mile mark we took a minute to gear up then took off faster for the return. Even starting on a hilly stretch we hit 6:05, 6:06, and then 5:45 down on the flat section of Beach. Maybe should have pushed for another, in retrospect. But we were both working on the third one, trading off setting the pace every quarter or so. Then two at 7:25 plus the extra quarter or whatever to finish at the parking lot. 1:12:10 Sore left plantar to start again, loosened up after a few minutes and didn't bother me. But sore again Saturday night, and my left hip flexor felt a little beat up. |
