124th loop, extended into Sherwood. I started with a 4 mile warm up and then ran 3 x 2 mile tempo sections. My legs still feel hammered from Thursday nights workout (Hedges Creek) so I wasn't sure how things would turn out. I feel the need to start incorporating some speed work a couple times a week to work on leg turnover. Averaged 6:58/mile for a warm up and then mile 5 and 6 was 5:43 & 5 :55. I chewed on some Sport Beans and grabbed a drink @ Providence, ran mile 7 easy then hit a 5:27 and 5:42. Mile 10 was slow (7:48) as I was starting to tighten up so I stretched a bit and then pushed through the last 2 miles. Miles 11 and 12 were 5:43 and 5:13 to finish off the workout. Pretty happy with how things turned out this morning. Looking forward to doing this more often during the upcoming weeks. Boston (163)
