Notes
--- First time running this since Dec. 7, 2010 and just the second time since July 17, 2006. Was my slowest out of the 30 times I've done it by 1:21 and 6:20 off a PR. ---
Mile splits: 8:10, 8:08 (16:18), 7:50 (24:08), 8:53 (33:01) and 7:43 (40:44) last 0.92 miles (8:23 pace)
Adjusted splits: 8:06, 8:13, 7:58, 8:11 and 8:15 pace last 0.92 miles
Had a good night sleep for once, getting some 10.5 hours off an on. Took me a bit longer to get out this morning as I added a segment to my loop (Alvarado), which would be my first time running it since Dec. 7, 2010 and just the second time since July 17, 2006. Had a decent stretch at home before driving out to my old place to run the loop.
Went out kind of quick early, at least too fast for what I thought was in store. And legs were surprisingly somewhat tired right away. I think I was at 2:02 for 0.25 miles and for sure was at 4:06 at 0.50 miles. Hit the first mile in 8:10 and shortly after was the highlight of the run. At about 1.08 miles in front of a 7/11, I ran by a group of four homeless guys hanging out by a bench while Prince’s “When Doves Cry” was booming out of some sort of a boom box. I had a quick stop at 1.29 miles while a car went by, so quick that I didn’t even count it in my list of stops. I knew I was going quick, but I kept thinking to myself that it was downhill the rest of the way until 3.30 or so and I should take advantage of it. Second mile was faster (8:08), but not really as the last part of it was straight downhill on 70th. The best I felt was when I got to Alvarado. I got cruising pretty good on that stretch and every time I checked my pace I was in the 7:40 or 7:50s. I wanted to stop late, though, as I was kind of dreading the hill by campus and boy did it deliver. It just wiped me out. Definitely steeper in the beginning, but just kept on going. I wanted to stop at the light at Montezuma at about 3.80 miles, but I was unlucky and had to go through it. I did stop at the El Cajon light at 4.52 miles, forgetting to stop my watch for maybe three seconds. I probably could’ve just gone through it, so maybe I deserved that. I slowly went up the final hill before Adelaide and maybe picked it up the last 0.05 miles, going at little past where I started to make 4.92. I somehow uploaded this run twice, which cost me some PRs on the segments I think. Oh well. The plan is for four miles tomorrow, we’ll see how hard.
