Notes
Hot, humid afternoon. Too lazy to get out of bed this morning so will pay dearly for this run. Suppose to do a tempo run. Not even going to attempt it; plan is to just get 9-10 miles in and go home.
Warmup: 4.05 miles (30:32) running on Osage trail from Center back up Lexington and around LaCroix parking lot twice on my way to the top of Lexington prior to heading back to Center for water and GU prior to rest of run. First 3 miles felt good then started to heat up.
Drill set then striders of :16 sec at 5:00 pace, :28 sec at 4:30 pace and :33 sec at 4:30 pace. Total warmup of 4.50 miles. Sweating alot but not going to get any cooler so take off for second part of the workout.
5.01 miles in 36:38 with first two miles of 6:44/6:44 then .50 mile in 4:04 prior to last 2.5 mile splits of 6:35/7:56/4:34. Felt like Roberto Duran after the first two miles but there was no one around for me to yell, "NO MAS, NO MAS". Self-inflicted situation in the first place so just have to suck it up and get up early next time.
Heading north tomorrow to the big town of K-ville, MO. Haven't been there since 1992. Hopefully most of my drinking buddies have graduated by now.
