Good progression run tonight, shortened due to mini-taper but still a good hard run. Went to the River Trail, where despite the unusually cool late summer weather, it was still around 80 and quite humid. The plan was to warm up with 2 miles, run back to the start at GMP or faster, and then warm down with another 2-mile jog. Went pretty well, except for the sweat blinding me. Warmed up, stopped for a stretch break, then took off at what turned out to be almost 10K pace for the two-mile return run. Ended up averaging about 7:32 for the two miles, then jogged out the 6, went and paid the power bill downtown, then went to McD for some high-calorie sustenance. Plan to do a slow jog tomorrow, either AM or PM, of about 4, then show up for the 5K on Saturday ready to go sub-22 (I may be kidding myself on that one, but we'll see how it goes). |
