Notes
really good workout with Marcus this morning. (followed by a nice breakfast at his house.) I was thinking 20 or less at 32-34 pace, he was thinking 20+ at that pace. He stopped to stretch on the steeple water barrier after 7 and it was tough. I mean after the first 2-3 we weren't really talking on the recovery. It was 40F and rainy, running through puddles around the curve. Very wet after the first few. We planned to do 20 in two sets of 10, but after 10, we settled on only doing 15, but decided to pick up the pace to run under 32 instead of 32-34 That worked for a couple, and Marcus was about .5 seconds up on me every time the last five compared to about even the first ten. Regardless 8:14.9 for 3k of work on a cold rainy day on a wet track two days after a tempo and on a 77+ mile week, I'll take it. Some might even say perfect training. It's the kind of workout that isn't as good as one would like, but it's what 250% better than just going out to run 9 miles.
