38F, NNW 12 mph. 7:02 AP. It was just a little too breezy for the track according to the rule I made up this morning which sets max wind at 11.99 mph for a track workout. So close.
So I did a 12-mile out-and-back with no workout in mind, just knew I wanted to pick up the pace. Ended up attempting a 5-mile tempo at the end. Splits for all 12:
7:46, 7:21, 7:20, 7:14, 7:18, 7:16, 7:08, 6:35, 6:39, 6:38, 6:39, 6:34.
McMillan says my tempo range should be 6:17-6:34, but I just could not get down there. Seemed impossible. Maybe I still have marathon stink on my legs, or maybe it was the fast warmup. I was pretty drained after the run.
I ran in the new Type A5's and loved them as I knew I would. I am normally not the type to rush out and buy a new upgrade to a shoe when it first comes out, but I love the A4s and had some cash in the paypal account from winning my fantasy football league this year so I splurged a hundred bucks on 'em. They are 5.6 oz, which is awesome, but still have the same sole as the A4's. That's probably why I started so fast, got a little too excited. |
