Every Run is a Great Run!

Wow quite the toasty warm day for a March run, 55-60 degrees.  I was actually a bit warm with my short sleeve shirt, need to go singlet next time and get used to running in warmer weather again.  Went our around 11am, did just over 3 miles with Kimi then did a progression run solo, finishing out with some hard uphill.  Pretty pooped after this run.

8:13/158 

Six miles at work including 9 hill sprints.

8:15/150 

Another unseasonably warm & windy day.  I had no gas in the tank today, I haven't slept so great this week (dang daylight savings!) and maybe between that and not being used to the warmer temps made me wimpy. 

I did manage to do 8 x 60s uphill repeats at 5K effort (not 5K pace). 

Just a nice & easy recovery run in the sun at work.

8:30/145 

Went to the track at the JH to do a tempo workout.  Plan was for 2 x 15 min at HMP to 10KP (6:40 to 7:05 pace range) with 1 min jog/rest in between.  

At 60 degrees and sunny it was a bit warmer and windier than I would have preferred but the faster miles actually went pretty well.

15-min repeat 1: 6:55 pace, ave HR 177

15-min repeat 2: 6:45 pace, ave HR 188 (max HR 193)

Total tempo miles: 4.4 

Not very often you get to run in 50 degrees on a March morning!  Of course there is always the SF canyon winds to balance things out and give you some moments of unpleasantness. Since much of the SF population is down in St George there was not much turn out for the run.  Mostly ran with Kim then she added on a few more with Bob and Dave. Kept in nice & easy after the tempo miles yesterday.
