Notes
Easy Run (which bordered on AT Tempo)
37 degrees. CLT Runners Tuesday nite run (18 runners). Got there on time to run w/the group! Goal was not to run this hard after workout and leg lifting last nite. Started out in a group of six where one of the guys was running easy. After we emerged out of the greenway (3/4 mile) and began climb up Queens, group strung out -- three in front and the two behind fell back. As much as I wanted to stay w/the group, fought off those feelings and maintained pace as the three were about 20 yards ahead at the top of Queens going on Selwyn. Again, maintained pace as the three gradually pulled further away. I started to catch up a little before 3 miles by accelerating up the small hill, but then decided not to stress things and throttled back up the bigger hill on Queens and continued to control pace coming down into Kings. At this point the group was 50 yards ahead. As I came into mile 4, one of the three was lagging and caught them coming into greenway. I then concentrated on controlling pace for the remainder of the run and not pushing anything (even though I ran the last 1.05 miles much faster).
