Notes
Headed out to the prairie path with the team for the first practice. Workout was a 5 mile warm-up out followed by a 5 mile tempo back. Went out much slower than I'm used to and built into the warm-up. Finally was clicking off some decent splits by the end of the warm-up. Hit the turn-around, waited at the light on Roosevelt, and then the action began. Lesiewicz took off right after the light, about 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile before I planned. I waited for a few seconds while adjusting then made my move sooner then expected to counter and see who we could get to go. From there on out, I could hear guys' footsteps the rest of the run but no one on my tail until the last mile again. Those guys each made their own moves and had some impressive finishes to close strong. A solid first workout of the year. Splits were 6:41,5:55,5:39,5:31,5:23 (29:10 out), 5:00,5:08,5:17,5:09,4:55 (25:32 back). Outside of a very slow mile 1 and a slower than expected mile 8, run went as well as expected. Good practice for Sunday's half-marathon.
