6 Mile Friday

Had a somewhat late night...at least for me...but it was something fun...so I didn't mind. I ambled out of bed at 7:00 and slowly got ready and messed around online for a bit. When I took my first few steps outside...it felt really cold. As soon as a got to my starting spot, I could see that it wasn't all in my head. There was frost on everything. I really looked neat. I am always amazed how that drab yellow we get for so lone in Wyoming can look almost fresh with a thin layer of white. I haven't seen frost (at least covering everything) in awhile. Somedays its the little things....

Pace going up the first mile felt pretty steady and even. I did start to pick up the pace once the land leveled out a bit. Going around the corner and down 30th there was quite a bit of traffic in the parking lots. It always makes me pay really close attention as I pass some cars with people in them. Just something to help me keep my head in the game.

Stayed pretty steady until my next loop up the hill. I wanted to go up at a little bit faster pace than my warm-up mile, so I pushed a little bit. My body responded well to the minor increase so that helps the confidence a bit. The real test will be tomorrow...11 miles after 6 mile run...should be interesting....

It was a good run. My time was 57 minutes and 12 seconds for 6.00 miles. Legs are a bit sore...but I feel good. Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!
