All by myself this morning on Shore Drive, just three other Slugs out there in total. I wanted some miles and planned a few miles of Tinman Tempo. Wonderful morning to run, sun coming up but I stayed in the shade, and it was probably in the 70s the whole run. Started off easy, three miles at 7:13 to 7:25 or so. Then I picked it up, but got going a little quicker than planned -- 6:25, 6:42, 6:53 (slow because I needed a bathroom break, which I then took and got back on track), 6:25, 6:21, 6:32. I was probably good on the fast miles at this point, but I still felt strong and was moving really smoothly, so I decided to push out a few more. 6:12, 6:08, 6:20. Then I stopped a minute and caught my breath, stretched a bit, and brought it home at a more reasonable pace: 6:48, 6:55. 1:33:44 overall.
Overall a great workout, surprised myself with how smoothly those fast miles went. One bottle of water, one gel at about mile 8, and two salt tablets. Good finish to a solid week as well, one of the better weeks of the summer and encouraging with TOU five weeks out. Now, it's time to mow the lawn. Then maybe new shoes, these need to be rotated out.
