I was in a hurry this morning, apparently too big of a hurry cause now I'm sitting in the Airport 1 1/2 hours early. Woke up at 4:00 went to the gym for a quick treadmill workout. 10 mile progressive tempo run in 1:05:50. 6:35 avg pace. Goal was to average 6:30 but I guess my slow first mile was to much to make up. Started at 7:30 pace for 1 mile then went to 7:00 pace, bumped it up every 1/2 mile finishing last mile at 5:50 pace. Felt good, I definately had to work at it towards the end but it was very sustainable so I'm pretty happy about it. If I could somehow manage to drop 10 - 15 lbs I'm sure I'd be back where I was last year, but for some reason I just can't seem to loose the weight, even 80+ mile weeks can't make up for conference food.
Back to San Francisco, expect a lot more 12 milers in my future.
