Notes
Another very nice morning with Drew. Workout today. Though I questioned why after I ate a very large amount last night for my birthday. Thankfully, I slept well and was able to use the bathroom after driving to Lion's Bridge. Still, I was tentative throughout the run. Nearly 3 miles of warm-up before doing 2 x 3 miles at tempo. I would have liked to do some faster paces, but figured I should be conservative after the weekend I had.
1) 6:23: This was a pretty casual start. Part of it was uphill but mostly it was still warming up.
2) 5:53: More uphill but our effort was getting where it should be
3) 5:45: A large U-turn but also some downhill that made made this feel easy.
1 whole mile recovery because I wanted it and I didn't have a plan other than to get past more downhill (and then I lost track of time a bit).
1) 5:58: While much faster than the 1st mile before, the effort wasn't much different.
2) 5:45: Some ups and downs on the one as we gear up for the final mile.
3) 5:33: We kept rolling after the last downhill and then had 2 runners to chase down. We relaxed some after pacing them but didn't figure 5:33 would come that easily.
That felt pretty good and I'm not feeling too roughed up afterwards. We'll see though. It's just so weird to feel great today and barely feel like a runner 3 days ago.
