Back To The Track

With a 10K on the docket this weekend I needed to remind my legs and lungs what it's like to run fast (well, fast for me at least) so I headed over to the .7 mile lake path for some more of the repeats I was having so much success with before the 1/2 marathon.

It was cold and windy and I had eaten a little something for dinner so I didn't expect to be quite as fast as I was a few weeks ago. I also wanted to do five repeats instead of four so I took a cautious approach to the first one and posted a 4:17 (6:12 pace). The remaining four were:

4:10 (5:59 pace)
4:08 (5:56 pace)
4:05 (5:52 pace)
4:01 (5:46 pace)

I then went on and completed the New Territory loop for a total workout of 8.55 miles.
