We got wild & crazy today and deviated from the typical late morning run routine and went out in the early morning instead. Ran 2 or 3 with Kim then she did some on her own and went to work with her WannaRunna5K gang while I did a track workout. My plan was for 2 x 15 min @ just faster than HMP with 5 min jog in between. But sometimes things don't go as planned and that was the case today. I need to remember to ease off the pace a bit in the early morning compared to later in the day to achieve the same workout. I did the first 15 min too fast and I think the canyon wind got to me as well. Ran out of gas on the 2nd repeat and had some GI distress and cut it short just over 10 min. Oh well still better than nothing. All faster miles between 6:45-7:00 min/mile pace. 8:05/162 |
