AM - Morning Tempo with the Boyz. Warmed up for about 3 miles. Clyde spit on me 3 times on the way to the tempo start - but only ran into me once. A bit windy this morning but not too hot. Here's how it went down:
Today's W/O : 5:45, 5:42, 5:27, 5:35, 5:43, 5:40, 5:50, 5:44
Last W/O: 5:52, 5:58, 5:43, 5:49, 5:49, 5:47, 5:46, 5:40
Pretty happy with this workout. Once again, my fastest ever on this course - 5:41 ave for the 8 miles. About 8 seconds faster per mile overall than two weeks ago.
HIGHLIGHT: Mile 4 we had a skunk scare and thought we were all going to get sprayed.
I think I would have done a bit better (5 seconds or so) on mile 7 if I could have kept David in sight, but I lost him in the dark - I was struggling to keep pace and lost a bit mental focus.
Pretty happy to know this is the last tempo before SG Marathon. It's been a great training cycle and I've seen some nice gains this season. I've had some ups and downs the last few months, but really happy I've stuck it out and stayed fairly focused. I think it's all really starting to pay off.
