Tempo run with the boys. Eric and JeffC showed up for the run this time. So after getting in my normal 2 mile runs before meeting them. I did 1 mile warm up and then 2nd hit my tempo pace. Ran with them to warm them up and then we headed down to the Church house and ran the course for the 5k we have coming up. Last year when I ran it it seemed just a bit short. And that the direction was wrong since we had to make alot of right hand turns and would be running on the wrong side of the road. So this time we ran it reverse. And changed up just a little more to get the distance right. Suprisingly right where I started it and ended it was perfect 3.1. So I think we figured it out.
Mile 1 8:58
Mile 2 7:10
Mile 3 10:06

Restarted the clock for the 5k for distance and time.

The 3rd mile was rather tough. Half of it was gradual uphill and not sure if I just drifted mentally to much or what. When I got to the top of the hill and halfway through that mile I was at 8:11 pace. And tried to pick up the pace on the gradual downhill. Also the first mile to mile and half is uphill. I think I really like it going the other way so you get that downhill for 1.5 rather then another hill at 2 to 2.5. Got to figure out a race plan if I am going to defend my title.:) |
