~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1st mile in 8.37 @ 150
2nd mile in 8.73 @ 161 - Some pretty good uphill sections here, and I was trying to slow my HR/pace down.
3rd mile in 8.32 @ 168
4th mile in 8.15 @ 165 - Speeding up considerably as I head down Lost Creek
5th mile in 8.08 @ 165 - Ditto.
6th mile in 7.85 @ 162 - Wow, that's fast for an LT run. My HR was nice and low though and I felt fine.
remainder in 6.17 (8.23 pace) @ 164
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the first run of my last week "taper." I was up to 9.5 miles on this run last week, reducing that considerably this go round.
I ran from the Y after my boy's soccer game all the way home, basically the same route I did on 3/21 without the loop around the H trails. The temp was comfortable but it started to rain pretty steadily the last couple of miles or so. Still, I was comfy in my new long sleeve running shirt (C9 from Target) and shorts. Starting getting some shin-splint soreness late into the run though, must have been all those big up/down hill sections.
Still, the fast time and low HR is giving me all sorts of confidence for Saturday.
