workout day. julie picked me up and we drove over to forest park a little after five so we could mark the course. we walked the two mile road loop with the wheel and marked off every half mile.
for the workout i did 4 x 1.5 miles with .5 mile jog in between. it was on the VERY hilly road loop course, so it was tough. the pace was supposed to be goal half marathon pace. i wanted to hit between 6:40 and 6:45 pace to see how that felt. it was tough, but i came close on most of them.
1st: 9:55 (approx 6:37 pace) --a little fast on this one
2nd: 10:02 (approx 6:41 pace)
3rd: 10:06 (approx 6:43 pace)
4th: 10:13 (approx 6:48 pace) -- really died on the last 1/2 mile, i was 6:43 at the mile, then the last uphill just killed me and i fell off the pace
overall, not too bad. i will be interested to see how i recover.
run: 11 miles -- 1.5 mile warm-up, 7.5 miles with the workout, 2 mile cool down
time: see workout breakdown above
shoes: brooks defyance (136), brooks racer st (10.5)
week-to-date: 24
