AM - 15.25 Tempo. Worried a bit about being worn down from yesterday's run (I hadn't planned on running it with the boys, but that is what evolved). In fact I worried a lot about this workout. I know I need to get hitting better on these tempos and I am really struggling with them. Did a little before The Circle formed and then warmed up and got into the tempo. Was able to watch an intense lightning storm move in from the Strip and Utah Hill. Getting into the tempo, I fell back a little from Clyde and Logan going by Staheli and told myself that I could (and had to) stay in there longer, so I pushed back to them. That is what made my run decent because later when I fell off them it went bad. Was 5:39 at Nicholl's, 5:37 at the bridge, slipped to 5:42 off Mosquito, then 5:47 at the car wash (which is suprising, because that isn't a tough section - but there was a strong headwind and I felt pretty tired by this point), then 5:49 at the end. The trail was slippery from the rain that started to fall and all the mud from yesterday so that affected me at the end, but I was also wimping out a bit. Some work done, more to do.

afternoon - 10.5 GS. 70 minute long hill run using a combination of 2450 and Green Springs followed by 8xbarefoot striders. The only bad thing about the run (other than missing a guy or two) was that I forgot socks and spare socks I leave at school got used at the end of last year and I had forgotten to bring new ones, and this morning's socks were still too wet to wear. So by the end of the run, the back of my heals had rub pretty raw. (Barefoot '14 45.75)(Kinvara white 310.75) |
