    tIt's a rest day for me, after a night of dreaming about espionage, government conspiracy and surveillance. The direct result of catching a late show about it all then going to bed. Stupid.

      Good morning!

       

      I ran 8.7 nice miles under the stars.  It was good.

       

      I hope everyone has a great day!

        Morning.  I actually went to sleep at 4:30am and been working for more than an hour.  Maybe I can nap at some point, waahhh.  8 miles and Pilates tonight.

                Other than tonight's run with DH, today is a rest day.

                 

                I didn't get home from the track until 10 PM last night, and figured I'd wait until this morning to post my work out.

                I did a 2 mile warm up around the track, then 6x800m before following that with a 1 mile cool down.

                I was aiming for a pace between 7:30-8:00mm as that is my goal pace for this coming Saturday, and I figured it would be relatively tough but easy....ish.

                That didn't happen, with the beginning of each hard lap, I found myself around a 7mm pace  WTF!!!

                Anyways....

                Splits     Time

                1           18:33             9:17mm

                2            3:30.4           7:01mm

                3            4:25.4           8:51mm

                4            3:21.1           6:42mm

                5            4:39.0           9:18mm

                6            3:25.6           6:51mm

                7            4:29.1           8:58mm

                8            3:27.8           6:56mm

                9            4:14.1           8:28mm

                10          3:19.5           6:39mm

                11          4:21.7           8:44mm

                12          3:24.5           6:49mm

                13          4:13.5           8:27mm

                14          8:35.4           8:35mm

                 

                It was a tough work out, not easy at all but I enjoyed it. The temperature was 79, humidity 84% and dew point around 70 or 72.

                  Oh and according to my garmin, that workout gave me two "PRs" again lol.

                  It said I ran a 5k in 23:57

                  And a 10k in 48:48 which is where I am hoping to reach this Saturday, or at least get under 50 minutes. And I guess this includes running the first 2 miles around a 9:17mm, so if I can get a good spot Saturday and not have to spend energy passing people or getting slowed down, a 8:15-8:30mm pace shouldn't be too hard. That's my modest goal, I want a sub 8mm and to get under 50 minutes.

                        It seems to be working out that way lol, though I'm still not near my A goal for a 5k but I expect that to change when cooler weather comes. I want under 23 minutes before this year is up but I really want a sub 7mm finish which would give me a time around 21:30. There are quite a few good 5k's before summer next year so hopefully I'll see that goal reached by then Smile

                            +1. Got up & had breakfast at 3:30 AM, despite being a rest day. It's 7:30 now, and about time for second breakfast.

                              I should have eaten something at 3:30. Maybe then I could have fallen asleep earlier than I did. Tossed in bed for like 5 hours and slept 2, grrr.
