I wanted to do a really hard run today, I was up late last night and couldn't sleep so when I got to the gym my mind just twasent in the game. I did a 2 mile slow warm up then I accidentally pulled the emergency stop magnet and staled the treadmill. When I started back up I decided to just go for it, I put the treadmill at 1.5% decline and speed at 10.5 mph, bumped the speed up every 1/2 mile but by the time I got to 5:30 pace I was feeling pretty pukey. Slowed it back down to 5:40 pace which seemed sustainable, not comfortable, just sustainable. Ran 6 like this then did a 1 mile cool down. 6 miles in 34:04 5:40 avg pace So the reason I was up late is cause Walter got me a spot as a 1:40 pacer for the Halloween 1/2 this weekend. I'm very excited about it, I was up late coming up with a pacing plan, and putting a list of Halloween jokes to tell at each mile. So if you're running the Halloween 1/2 and want to do it in 1:35, you should slow down a bit and run with my group cause it's going to be fun. I've never paced before so I'm not sure how it will go, but I plan on doing a really good job :) It should be a lot of fun to run a race at a pace I know I wont crash at.
