Once again I ran alone this morning. It will be nice when everyone gets back to a regular schedule. I ran the normal Wednesday morning hill run. I warmed up running to the hills. I ran the ascent pretty strong but did not push real hard. I took the descent easy watching my footing to avoid another ankle turn. I picked up the pace some when I reached the bottom and then more when I started the gradual downhill at 400 E. I still had to watch my footing as 1600 N is torn up for construction. Running near a 7:00/mi pace at the end felt good. I'm finally getting a little spring back in my legs after the WBR and the hard long run on Saturday. I averaged 9:06/mi to the hills, 11:06/mi up the hills, 9:05/mi down the hills, 7:52/mi for the 1/2 mile from 800 E to 400 E, and 7:02/mi the last 0.6 miles home. At lunch time I ran the Lake View run with Tom. Cory joined us for the return trip. It was about 80 degrees. We went out at a little over an 8 minute pace per mile and came back at a sub-8 minute pace per mile. |
