48F, NNE 20-29 mph. 6:53 AP. Managed to run as the cold front was arriving again. No run yesterday, woke up too late and it was impossible to fit in after that. Today I ran a 12 w/ 6 @ MP, which is only 60-65% of what I had originally intended, but ok for today. I ran pretty well, given the last 2 weeks. The first 6 were warmup, but still at a pretty brisk pace, given that they were mostly headwind miles. Then I turned around and the legs were antsy to run. Last 6 miles went at 6:23 AP (6:21, 6:33, 6:27, 6:33, 6:27, 5:56). Clearly not MP in this lifetime, but I had the big tailwind, rested legs, and a shortened workout so why not crank it down a bit more? Anaerobic sprint the last couple tenths of a mile to snag a sub-6 at the end.
This next week might be more hit or miss with running as Danielle has to go out of town and I'll be single dad for a few days. I'll just have to be a bit more creative.
