Started with 5 miles with Becky. It was supposed to be a recovery run for her but she still isn't convinced of how slow recovery runs are supposed to be (I think we averaged 8:30/mile).. I think it takes a couple of marathon cycles to really appreciate slow recovery runs.
After she was done, I went out to the golf course and back for another 5 miles. Wanted to dial in the pace for my pacing duties at Bryce this weekend. Averaged 7:30/mile (target was 7:38) and it felt very comfortable. Didn't have my Garmin but I've run that route so many times I know where every quarter mile marker is so it was easy to stay on pace. |
