9AM - A lovely 8.5 mile jaunt in the pouring rain (I felt hard core!) with Lisa this morning. I expected she would bail (and Jordanne did bail) because of the crappy weather, but it actually was quite a nice run, not too cold (though my thighs were beet red by the end) and just lovely along the Cedar River. After Lisa left I decided to do some tempo miles, did 3 of those and then the last mile was a recovery mile but speedwork magic happened and that mile was nearly as fast as the tempos! I want to get fast again! TT: 1:17:40 AP: 9:08 Splits: 9:49, 9:57, 9:25, 9:22, 8:46, 8:22, 8:27, 8:48 Decorated our Christmas tree! I want to decorate the house too but it's still pouring and I don't have that much self-hatred! :-) |
