| After a long night of tossing and turning I got up feeling more energized than the last three days---a relief. I got geared up to run my planned 5.5 miles but accidentally went over. AP for the whole run was 8:15 for 6.6 miles. Plan was also to do 10 x .08 (more than 100 meters, and .01 more than I ran last time , a big step I know ; D, but I find it hard to get in a groove in only 25 seconds and even this felt too short, I guess that is the meaning of strides) Anyway ran 4.45 mile easy in 8:52 pace run then ran my strides with 0.1 miles in between with the lovely garmin beat reminders. I accidentally started with my interval so my first one I was not quite ready yet it felt the best and then I ended up running an extra one because I missed counted. I kept waiting for my garmin to beep but it was in the cooldown mode. Oh well. They always do. All the others actually felt very easy. With the traffic I slowed on a couple out of anxiety but I ran longer and quicker than my last strides, that's a plus. I focused on "robot" arms and stretching out my legs. I still don't know what strides are all about and how fast I should be doing them. I like that they are over and done with before you know it. Here are the splits for those and the 0.1 in between, so I can compare them later. ( BTW this was not all out but relaxed). 5:57, 8:03, 6:08, 7:49, 6:08, 7:42, 5:43, 7:23, 5:53, 7:29, 5:49, 7:36, 5:44, 7:42, 5:43, 8:08, 5:55, 8:17, 5:49, 7:58, finally the extra "11th" one where I actually slowed wondering why my watch wasn't beeping, so 0.11 miles @ 6:23, uphill but still felt easy. Finished with 0.41 miles back to my house. Driving up solo to Antelope Island in the morning at about 6:15am. No reason to arrive there super early. The race starts at 8am. I am looking forward to a nice LONG run. Goal would be to beat my time two years ago of 5:23. Mel and I ran it then without any expectations but to just run it. I have no idea of my ability now, two years later with more miles but less iron on board. I also have hard memories of Squaw Peak but luckily that wasn't until mile 41. This is so much easier than that course but it is has its hard points for sure. One thing it March and the salt air is not so welcoming. It is numbing and usually bitter. But hey, that's been the weather all winter. Nothing new. I hope to feel good at the end. Time will tell. Less than 24 hours and I am out there. Good luck to everyone that is racing tomorrow!! : D. |
