Loops into the Wind

Tuesday: 15 miles- 1:48 12 mile w. up, 3 mile tempo @ 6:16 pace

Tonight I did two 6 mile serpentine loops then made my way to my 1520m loop for a tempo run. I hit a gel at the 12 mile mark (90min) and felt like it stayed in my stomach throughout the 18 minutes of the tempo run...to fast a pace to process.

I managed to run pretty strong battling the wind today: Successive splits of 6:12, 6:02, 5:39 for a 17:53 or about an 18:50 three mile. Not bad considering that was impossible 2 months back, but still not superman pace either. It is hard to hold back these days and I let the third one go a bit. The legs were definitely tired though, no real zip. Easy restful runs the next two days then dark and early Friday morning it is on!

Hey Loomdog! looks like things are going well. I'm sure you could use a change in scenery though, but soon enough. Good luck on your big training run this weekend. Stay solid and smart.
