Run with the Radda crew. First four miles were easy. Jwood told me about having seen the movie Powder and how it changed his life forever. Anyway, since I have been somewhat sleep-deprived the last couple of days, I very nearly talked myself out of doing the tempo run. In fact, while running with Aimee Larkin shortly before the turn from Holladay Blvd onto Casto where I start the tempo run, I told her that I wasn't going to do it. I changed my mind when I turned the corner, though. When it came down to it, I didn't have any reason not to do it other than being lazy. So I ran the 3 mile Wander Lane tempo in 18:15 with splits of 6:13/5:59/6:03. Sasha's course analyzer calls this about 5:40 pace on a flat route. For a bonus, I didn't even puke a little this time. After the tempo, I ran back and hooked up with a couple of my Radda brethren and then added another mile on my own at the end. After work, I came home and ran a quick 2 miler because it was so nice outside. |
