AM - I really didn't want to run this morning, so I sought out some company to make it easier, and fortunately found Cody and the LHS track. He will finishing up his interval workout, so I paced him in a 400 at 72s, and a 200 in 32s. It's definitely hard to go into a 400m interval with only 2 minutes of warmup (I live next the track), but I felt pretty good after the 200. I figured that took care of my strides for the run. I ran with Cody on his cooldown, and then did the landfill loop after he went home. 7:24/mile average pace for the run (7.5 miles)
(1120: 54 miles) PM - had a dinner run late, so I didn't get to hit the road until 9PM. Did the canal trail route (6 miles). It was getting pretty dark, and I ran past a shadowy figure running the other way at sub-7minute pace. I took a good look back, trying to figure out if it was Jon, Cody, or James, since there's only so many people in Logan that run sub-7 pace. The shadowy figure looked back too, probably thinking the same thing. Turned out to be Jon, so I turned around and ran with him back to his car, and then back home via the Boulevard. Better to run with people than to run alone, IMO. That makes me 2/2 today on bumping into friends while running. 7:07/mile average pace. (Adrenaline orange: 409 miles) |
