Notes
East Nasty training run with Patrick and a big group of other guys; the ground was a little slippery from the snow/ice but not too bad; first ran two miles just with Patrick then ran the next 5 miles on the streets of East Nashville with the big group then Greg Kyle wanted to get in a fast finish long run so me, Patrick, and Greg left the group when we got onto the greenway with a plan of running 4 miles at around 6:15 pace; felt pretty good the first two miles but then fatigue started to set in for me; it was a little discouraging that this felt so hard the last couple miles of the tempo part but I think it came from the T-25 "lower body focus" workout I did on Thursday; my legs were already sore before I started this run and then fatigue probably got worse from running medium pace miles over rolling hills before starting the tempo portion; Greg and Patrick both dusted me after the first two miles as they worked down to around 5:50 pace for the last mile of the tempo; finished with a 1.6 mile cooldown; still enjoyed this run overall even though the tempo didn't go how I would have liked; I'll probably try a 10K tempo with the East Nasty group next Saturday, hopefully that goes a little better...
