I took my easy day today instead of Friday to give my legs a better chance to recover from saturdays race, they did feel better today but I just ran a couple with Ethan and called it good. We ran out to the old barn on Canal road and then ran back to the house, pace going out was 9:17 and then before we headed back I told Ethan to run a faster pace and and see if he could hold it and I would try and catch him. So, he did and I couldn't catch him, he was 30 or 40 seconds ahead of me and then with about .35 togo he really took off! He was a sub 7:00 mile for sure cuz after about 1/4 mile I backed off because I new there was no way of catching him... My mile for that second mile was 7:40 but when I was trring to catch him it was like 7:15 but I wasn't gaining any ground;)
Average pace was 8:30, I dont know what it was for Ethan cuz I couldn't catch up to him to see, I guess if he stays serious about this I will have to get him a watch;) The kid's got some wheels!!!
Back at it tomorrow. |
