7 miles for a 'warm up' which is hard to do when it's in the 20's and raining sleet and snow. That's been a common theme this week. Hopefully next week it's a different story. Anyway, averaged around 7:20's when I hit the turnaround and it was a struggle to hit sub-6 on the way back. A headwind didn't help, but for some reason, I just didn't seem to have 'it' today. So it goes... Can't win them all. 9 mile tempo in 6:03 and more freezing temps, rain, snow blah blah blah. Glad to have this one done with so I could get out of the wet clothes and take a hot shower. Highest mileage in a while. 1 mile cool down. |
