Notes
A very solid effort tonight, especially considering I ran 10.75 yesterday. First off, ran 10.15 miles outside on a hilly route around town, (800 feet of climbing) well wrapped up, and working reasonably hard, not quite at marathon pace but harder then the actual 7:18 pace would suggest. (Level off the hills, take it down to sea level, and it'd probably have been closer to a 6:45 effort. Don't know how you'd adjust for the snow and baltic temperature!) Anyway, it was a great satisfying tempo-ish run, and especially cool beside frozen Clear Creek, listening to the ice creak and groan in the night. Then,I jumped into the rec center, and ran a steady 6.2 miles in 40 minutes dead on a treadmill (so boring!!!), doing most of it at 6:27 pace, just faster than marathon pace, and finishing with a solid quarter mile at 6:00 pace, and .2 of a mile at 5:45 pace. The 6:27 pace was tiring physically, but I wasn't breathing hard at all. Made me sweat, anyway. After all that the hot tub was awesome...
