AM: Drizzly morning solo run. Warmed up for just over 2 miles then did 8 x 2-minute intervals with 3-minute active recovery then 1.5 mile cooldown. Wanted to keep the pace in the 5:30-5:45 range and was mostly successful but it was harder than I wanted it to be. This is the first time doing this type workout in the morning and I think it's just harder to get the legs moving fast in the early AM. Looks like I covered .35-.37 miles per interval. Splits were 5:43, 5:38, 5:37, 5:39, 5:39, 5:43, 5:47, 5:40. Overall ave pace around 7:40.
Noon: Ran 5 more miles in the rain with Paul. I was sure glad he showed up at the last minute, I was thinking the rain had scared everyone away. Ended up being a real nice run I thought, the rain was a non-factor and philosopher Paul was at his best providing wit and wisdom. Ave pace 8:24. |
