morning - 15 Sullivan's. Took Twix around the extended Dirt Mile 3x for 4 miles and then headed down to the river trails. Decided to push just a touch before the tempo just to add a little something to it. So went 6:40 for a mile and then 6:20 for a half to kind of progress into the workout. Tempo went much better today than last week. Finally getting into some kind of shape and I think last week I had the beginnings of that sickness that kept me down a little at the beginning of the week and spread through most of the fam. Went 5:48, :39 and felt very good. The third was 6:04 and was a good push up the Dam hill, in fact e first half before the hill I was only 6:02 ave - even though I felt like I was pushing pretty good. 4th was 5:53 with a good finish of the hill and solid on top. Then 5:37 and :44 to end. A bit of an up-canyon river wind on those last two - have noticed that the last two weeks; maybe that is just how it blows this time of year. (Mana 706) Decent week for missing a couple mornings. Was happy to see a little progress. Goals for next week: keep progressing with stuff and work on my attitude about life. |
