Daddy of all daddies run today. The BIG one. 8 miles easy and then 5x2 sets... first set @ 7:30, second set negative splitting. Got going and it was dark and cooler than usual. Saw an animal that scared the crap out of me. Mile 3 there was a bird that scared me. I'm terrible running in the dark. Mile 4-bathroom stop. Didn't know if I was going to make all 20 miles. Belly was not happy. Stopped at home @ mile 8 to GU and salt stick. Tempo miles: 7:24 7:23 7:11 7:16 7:17 6:56 Pit stop. Changed, GU and salt stick. 7:21 7:16 7:12 7:04 2 more miles to cool down. Proud of this run! 7:56 AP. |
