Notes
virtual monumental mile.
Blake and i hopped the fence to IUPUI. mile warmup. super hot and muggy.
my splits were around 74/75/79/68. Blake led the first 1000, and I took the rest, that was the deal since he's been running, doing speed work, and knows how fast a 75 is. I haven't been done any speed recently other than 4 striders last week, so i had no idea what it would feel like. He finished 5 flat. legs were starting to give out last 100 meters, and there was a strong headwind each lap after the last turn, brutal. Barfed afterwards. Definitely impressed myself, i thought for sure there was no way i was going under 5:30 in my current fitness level, especially with the humidity and heat. feels good though to be able to run sub 5 as at 37 years old.
Overall I am not sore. I did make a mistake though by hitting about 50 baseballs or so yesterday at Northview, my torso is sore all over.
