Notes
No kids this weekend, so I got to run with Kare.
She had a 10k tempo on the schedule so that works out well for me to run with her, I sort of asked her before that if she wanted to break 50 for the 10k that we could. It would make it a bit tougher workout but hey it would be nice to run 49 something, right? She didn't really give me an answer so we went out at about 5:10/km pace and I sort of figured we would keep it around there, well at the 5k point I told her we were at 26 flat and then she started running faster. So I asked her if she was planning on breaking 50 she didn't commit but just kept running. 2k later we are running 4:5x somethings.
Me knowing that there was no way we were going to break 50 at that point just kept my mouth shut and tagged along. She kept ramping it up faster and faster, 4:45, 4:35.... We hit 9k and I checked the watch I said you have to run the last k in 4:30 to break 50. I asked if she was going to go for it, she said no and we slowed down a bit. Then before I know it I feel the pace picking up again, smile to myself, and then try to keep up. She ended up running the last k in 4:18 for a 49:48...ha Stopped, caught her breath in like 10 secs and then started jogging home. So awesome, love her. Final 5k in 23 something...ha.
