Holy Olympian
This morning I wanted to do a little speed work. Since this feeling never hits I went with it. Yesterday I drove past the closest track thinking 800s would be the way to go but it was all ripped up and large machinery everywhere so that was not going to work. Instead I decided to run my normal 6 mile route doing 1 mile warm-up, 4 miles at around 9min/miles and then a mile cool down. Easy enough. Of course my arms were totally dead from muscle pump and were no help during this run. I run part of this on the Rillito River trail so it is mostly flat. Mile 1: 10:30 (warm-up) Mile 2: 9:03 Mile 3:9:04 Mile 4: 9:13 Mile 5: 9:15 (.4 uphill so pretty pleased with that though did almost die at top of long, gradual hill) Mile 6: 10:22 (cool-down) Now if you look at mile 4 you notice it is a little slower than the other two in the 9s. Now I will admit I was getting tired at that point, but I really think the Olympian sighting is what slowed me down. Yep I am about 99% sure I saw Bernar...
