It was a beautiful, if slightly windy, day outside. 62′F and sunny. I tried a shortened interval session outside in the office park (not for the faint of heart).
I was almost knocked off of the road by a Green Expedition [license plate would be included if I had remembered it] whose driver decided not to wait for the car in front of him and angrily passed while talking on his cell phone–right at the point where I was on the road. I guess the phone conversation and trip to the bank/Chilis was more important than actually paying attention to the road.
…anyway… I managed to get a couple of sub-7 pace 800s in, and a final quick stride at a 6′10″ pace at the end of the run: 4.9 miles in 43′22″ (8′52″/mile).

- At a medium pace... 5.7 miles in 47:32 (8:22 pace) #twit2fit #running After weeks and weeks of building mileage and mostly running slowly, I'm ready to start testing the waters a little bit on what my legs actually have in them. If my mileage stays steady, it looks like my legs currently have roughly a comfortable 8:30 pace in them. After a......
- Hills and snow long run - a trail run despite the pavement technicality My long run today was going to be fairly sluggish just because of my piriformis soreness issues lately.
