Got up a 6 and hustled to get out the door. It was chilly, but nowhere near as cold as yesterday. I had my headlamp, but it was more so that cars could see me because the sun was starting to rise ever so slowy. The wind has really been dead the last couple of days, and I do enjoy that.
Legs felt like they had more life in them than I would have thought. I did take my first mile and a half quite a bit under what I would consider my "normal" pace just to keep them relaxed. I started pushing at the end of the track field parking lot and continued until I got home. I did manage to see a few other runners out today and most of them seemed to really be pushing themselves...so my hats of to them. I believe my time was 28 minutes and 8 seconds for the 3 miles. I know my pace was a 9 minute and 23 second mile. I am sad to see my 3 mile runs go away for the time being, but excited that I am about to dig in and get some mileage in starting next week. Thanks for reading!
PS - Jon, I am looking at doing a 10 miler on the 27th. I believe it is in Littleton. I haven't really looked farther ahead at any other races. It sure would be nice to do an actual half-marathon and make the starting line. How is the Boston Cycle?

The Snowman Stampede at Chatfield! Maybe I'll join you, depending on soccer/family/other issues... I hear those are fun races (the "Winter Series").
ReplyDeleteGood riddance to those 3-milers! They are just warm-ups! :-)
Boston training is going well -- thanks for asking. Up near 70 miles again this week after a couple of mid-high 50s due to travel & illness. I'm looking forward to going for a big PR!
