Easy 9+ at Chaffee with Lionel. At least most of it was easy. At the end, felt pretty good, and I hadn't put the hammer down in a while, so I did. Last half-mile was sub-7:15. I kept accelerating, trying to drop Lionel, and he wouldn't drop -- and he still had six more miles to do! It was cool, fairly windy, and I'm pretty sure the temp went down a few degrees during the run, but all in all pretty comfortable. I think the mitochondria may be there for me now; it wasn't that much of a strain to hammer that last half mile after doing 9 already. We'll see how I do in a race, if I can ever find one on a day I'm not working,. May wind up running the Trinity 5K on the 25th just for S&G. |
