Ran with Stin, Gary, Mast.
Today was supposed to be a 75 min long run at about 6:30 pace, backing it off from last week because The Running School is in 2 days. We would do surges of 0.1mi at 5:10 at the 3.9, 5.9, 7.9, and 9.9 mark. After the first surge me and Stin were supposed to split from Gary and Mast, and we would roll 6:30s the rest of the time and they would stay at 6:45s.
It started thundering and lightning-ing dangerously when we got to the 3.5 mark, so we had to turn around. When Stin realized that we wouldn't be doing the full long run and that we were done as soon as we got back, he started to drop the pace pretty rapidly. Even if the rain let up there was no chance we would be finishing the 75 minutes after dropping a sub 6. We got in the surges as we went back and that helped the pace drop too.
Overall I felt good though, and so did Stin clearly. The quick pace didn't really faze me that much. I don't think it really matters too much that we fell 2 or 3 miles short today, we will just be fresh for TRS.
