I had considered going to Salem for a 5K this morning but decided to stay home, not pay $30, and include a tempo portion in my workout. I started with 4 miles easy into Lake Oswego and after finding a bathroom and stretching for a bit, I began to pick up the pace. I was shooting for sub-6:00 for the next 6-10 miles. Surprisingly, I felt great the whole way. The wind was a little rough at times but that's life. I ran past Trader Joe's to Tigard HS and then jumped on my normal loop back to Tualatin. I ran 10 miles in 57:27, an average pace of 5:43. My quickest mile was 5:32 (10th mile) and slowest 5:57 (1st mile); I seemed to be pretty consistent throughout. Also, I ate 5-6 sport beans just after 5 miles (9 miles total) to remember what that's like. Finished off the run with 1 mile easy. Boston (405) |
