Okay, let me see if I can get them all. Ran a 14 long run/tempo this morning with Allie, Kam, Cam, Andy, James, Jake, Andrea and Mark. Yep, that's who was there. The plan was 14 miles with a 2x2 mile tempo at marathon pace at the end, with a 1 mile rest. The wind and the rain in the beginning were making our 7:30 pace look like 9 minute pace, but felt like 7:00 pace:) Did you get that? It was still fun. When the time came for the tempo, our pack split up more. I ran with Andy, Kam and Allie for the 2x2. The first two miles were pretty flat, the second two miles were a little more hilly, but in comparison with the hills around here Overall pretty flat.. Spits were 6:50, 6:42 and 6:42, 6:30. Good workout. I was a little nervous in the first few miles, I had a weird sensation of a dead leg for some reason, you know the kind you get from being punched in the leg, not the kind from sitting funny. That left, then a "GU-less GU gut poked it's head in for a short visit, but was shortly lived and didn't effect the important tempo part of the run luckily. Overall felt great today and was happy to run with amazing runners. Afterwards we went to Kam's for some yummy waffles! So good to meet FRB'ers in person! |
