Every Run is a Great Run!

AM: Six miles with Kim on a very dark and kinda spooky morning.

PM: Thirty minutes XT + core at the gym. 

Went out around 11am. Temps around 45-50, mostly sunny very little wind made for perfect running conditions.

Did my last speed workout before my 5K in 11 days. Drop-down 1, .75, .5, and .25 miles with 2-4 min jog/walk rests in between. The 1/.75 were on pretty steep downhill with the last .5/.25 on slightly downhill to flat terrain so that's why the short distances are slower.

Feel pretty good about the workout and should be ready for the race. Don't know that I'll be able to stay very close to Terry B but I should be able to beat my time from last year unless something weird happens like headwind instead of tailwind or I go out too fast. Should be fun!

Splits times/pace: 1m - 5:40, .75 - 4:02/5:23, .5 - 2:43/5:46, .25 - 1:25/5:40 

AM: Six miles in the dark.

PM: 30 min XT + core. 

8:42/143

First 20-miler of the year, we'll do another one in 2 weeks then it's off to Boston 2 weeks after that for 26.2! Not sure how things would go after the emotionally draining week but it worked out ok. Weather was about perfect for a run like this in the mid-40s and maybe 50's by the end.

Lots of folks in St George this weekend but we still had company most of the run, glad the Hal and Carl G could stick with us the last half of the run it always helped to have a crowd.
