Ran a longer Liberty loop tonight with Nate and the pup. While running to the park, I decided I would do 2 x 1 mile pickups (to around tempo pace) just to gradually add in some faster stuff and to make running the loops go a little quicker. Ran right around 8:30 for the first one and it felt pretty easy. My poor old pup is used to running much slower and I could tell she didn't have another 8:30 mile in her, so I bailed on the second one. |
