Notes
Temp 38 Winds Calm.
Long Run with AT Tempo. Extended pre-run warm-up to make sure hips were loose. Took another 25:00 minutes of running to shake out and prime.
Looking to go 40-something minutes at AT. Starting with about 10:00 minutes on the track before finishing with some hill work. First couple of track miles at 7:43 / 7:40. Out the gate, loop The Orchards, take Oak Street to the park, and make a loop there. Final splits 7:46 / 7:44 / 7:49 / 4:51 (7:44). Fairly even effort. Slow mile five included climb on Oak Street and brief pull up to let traffic flow through Farmington Road intersection. Overall 5.63 miles at 7:45 average pace.
Jog around town just shy of another hour. Take a break to chat with Golden at high school about HS football playoffs and how, once again, teams that are left standing are programs with coaches and players that have put in the work.
Decent morning payday: Quarter, five dimes, four nickels, and nine pennies.
