I do love living in Seattle but sluggish crawl from winter to spring is almost unbearable. Rained during the whole workout today with temps in the low 40s and the wind chill in the mid 30s. April what? Ugh.
But the workout must go on. Four left including today's which was a 7+1 meaning 7 miles at marathon pace and then 1 at something faster. The wrinkle I threw into this one was I did it on rolling hills to simulate as much as possible the Boston course. I have to say I was pretty happy with how things went especially since this was my third workout in five days. Every mile was between 5:23 and 5:27 with the final one being in 5:16. If I fee half that good at Heartbreak Hill, I will be ecstatic. |
