AM: After a couple mile warmup I helped pace Kim on a 4 mile tempo run to serve as a tune up for Hobble Creek. I say "helped pace" her but she really doesn't need my help much anymore, I spend most of the time just trying to keep her from getting too far out in front of me so that I can record accurate splits on the watch. Coach Tom decided not to have any particular pace goal today but to just let Kim run whatever felt good. We ended up averaging 7:55 for the 4 miles which I thought was pretty dang good considering that it was a net uphill run with all but the last mile being on the uphill side and into the wind. At least we were fortunate today the wind wasn't too bad.
Mile splits were 8:05, 8:07, 7:56, 7:28.
Ave pace for the entire 7.25 miles probably around 8:55. I'm thinking the purple haired duo of Kim and Jody will run Hobble in the 1:40 to 1:45 range but with a real good chance of running under 1:40.
PM: Just over 4 more miles at solo at work. Ave pace 8:50.
