AM: Nice morning run but a bit nippy for June. Of course the SF canyon winds were doing their thing as well. Went around 6 miles with Kim and then 1 solo mile after Kim met up with her new running buddy to finish off her run. We did what will be the last of the hill repeat workouts. Since this week will be a slightly reduced mileage week (55-65 miles for me) and since we have a race on Saturday we didn't do as many hill reps as last week (5 for me, 4 for Kim). These were timed reps, 2 minutes up the hill, 3 minute rests coming back down. I was pleased I got quite a bit further up the hill than last week, of course it helped that I was only doing 5 reps instead of 8 and wasn't still recovering from a weekend of no sleep. As usual Kim was looking strong coming up the hill not far behind me. Ave overall pace 9:33.
PM: Ran the Lakeview 10K loop with Paul. Nice sunny day, almost on the verge of being too warm but I'm not going to whine about the heat quite yet. Ignored the garmins, had some good chit-chat and just ran by feel keeping it easy and comfortable. Ave pace 8:12. |
