NOON Ran the Old Ranch Rd loop counterclockwise. Wanted to do a 6 mile progressive tempo, but only made it 4.09. My warm-up was all uphill and even 7:47 pace was feeling kind of difficult. I almost aborted and just made it an easy run, but decided to see what I could do. Felt pretty good the first section, then bumped up the pace during the miles 3 & 4, which on this course are very hilly and this just gassed me. Cut the tempo short and cruised for a bit. I think I got a little cocky yesterday, and pushed too hard when I knew today would be difficult. Oh well, live and learn! Run: 2.32 up-hill warm-up, 4.09 in 28:14, avg. 6:54 per mile. 3.74 cool-down Total of 10.15 in 1:15:13, avg. 7:25 per mile.
