Notes
Solid first workout back! The wind was absolutely atrocious today, so I designed a new tempo route that went from the two mile mark of Pleasant Valley straight out to the two mile mark on Church Road (an entirely straight shot that put the wind at my back the entire time). I think that was a great decision because the warm up and cool down sucked dick, as I was running into the wind for the entire time on each. The workout itself was pretty awesome. I was shooting for 5:40-50 pace, so I was spot on and consistent through the first three miles. I was actually feeling pretty good, so I dropped pace a tiny bit--within reason--on the final mile. I was a little tired on the cool down, but I had the triple whammy of being tired from the workout, running right into the wind, and having to come back up the hills on Mannsville Road. Overall, I am happy with this workout. Great to see that my fitness hasn't wavered too much since Hershey.
