AM- 15 minute warm up, then a 5 mile tempo. I was supposed to split 7:15's; splits were 6:59/7:07/7:09/7:26/7:09 with a 211ft elevation gain. Averaged out to 7:11 per mile. Coach Harris specifically said not to go faster than our assigned pace but I really didn't mean to. This was my first run with my new watch, and honestly I didn't really trust the pace it was giving me for the first mile. You know how when you first start a run, you could be jogging and your GPS watch will still say its like 6:45 pace or something for a minute until it gauges it accurately. I kind of thought it was doing that for the first three fourths of the first mile or so, which is why that split was so fast. Maybe it was actually accurate from the get-go and I was running like 6:45, it just felt slow. Oops. Anyways, after that I did a 20 minute cool down followed by some weight lifting and core.
PM- ran back home after babysitting for my easy PM run. Added a bit to get to 30 minutes. Note to self...stop forgetting gloves at night! Sincerely, perpetually frozen fingers.
