Notes
First time running with the USole guys that Wrigs hooked me up with. Met Craig (mustache), Ian (slim dark-haired guy), Todd (USole), Brent (short, baseball cap) and Meg (CARA girl ---fast----).
Jogged to the shop. Then stood around while the heat made a nice perfume of my unwashed windbreaker. Then we started out toward the LSP. Southbound. (I saw Aaron and shouted Hi). Then over to Chicago. Then up State and through the park to the LSP again.
Pace was a little quick for an AHR run. On Saturday I had a terrible time trying to do 12mi with 4@MP. Sure, there was wind. But I was really struggling. Last night we did 10mi with about 8 around 20secs above MP with about 4 of them at MP. There's a lot of stop-n-go on Chicago/State which might help.
After the trough I lost contact with the group. I figured there was about 1.5miles left and I didn't have it at 6:45 pace. So I slowed. Turns out there was only a quarter mile left before they regrouped. Ah well.
I thought this was their AHR run. Turns out it's their Tempo run. No wonder.
