After track warmup we ran to Liberty. Went to the drinking fountain then to the mile mark. We did two 2 mile tempos. I calculated 13 minutes based off of my XC PR pace, 6:20 plus 10 seconds doubled equals 13. I hit 12:54-56 and either 13:14 or 13:24 I can't remember. On the first one I hung on to Bill and Eleanor until I think the drinking fountain, we went through the mile at 6:10, then I fell off and slowed down, which means my second mile was a 6:45ish. Freak. Then we ran from the 3 mile to the 1 mile going by the fountain. The second one I fell off even before the mile, I think right in the middle of that long straight, but Bill said they were a second off which I would guess put me at about 6:35ish judging by the gap. Then I tried to pull it together and finish the tempo, but I honestly couldn't get my legs to move fast enough to catch back up, they were so tired. I think it might be from yesterday :) if I ran 6:35ish first mile my second mile was either 6:39 or 6:49. But then again it was just a guess. I wish I had stayed on Bill and Eleanor, but like Bill said, you can't turn back the clock. Cool down to 10. Did my core.
