8 mile Santaquin Orchard loop plus 2 with the south county crew. This was one of those runs that I live for. It started with a "I'm tired can we walk to the corner before we start running?" followed by a "We should probably run easy because it's cold, and the roads are slick, and well we ran pretty fast on Sat." (all complaints by me of course!) And then it turned into this:
7:58, 7:29, 7:18, 7:10, 7:03, 7:13, 6:41, 6:41 I mentioned to coach Jen that we were on track to beat our CR of 59:32 with 1.5 mi to go and she started flying. Such an awesome push to the finish and it felt good to get a completely unplanned workout in. And we beat our time by 2 min finishing in 57:29! I went out for a cooldown after the crew left and was riding such a running high I just couldn't slow down. 7:11 pace for the 10 miles. |
