VRC + PRE tempo

June 2, 2010 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 60, rain

Comments:
Ran w/Jeff, fairly uptempo. Started in 6:40s and got to at least 6:30flat, if not sub, by the time we got to the VRC side of the river. Didn't feel too bad. Focused on long strides.

Did my first tempo of the TCM build-up today. Did x4 strides, then went after it. Did not look at the watch 'til I was done.

I could tell I was slow at first, since I was zoning out. As I went along, though, I sped up a bit and challenged the breathing. Steady rain/mist nearly the whole time; wind wasn't bad. Trails were SLOPPY and soft.

Disappointed with the splits: 5:56, 11:45. That deuce split was better, but not great. Oh well. A start, at least.

Had a pretty good afternoon. Had 2 new Ninkasi beers at Bier Stein tonight: Radiant (not new, but new seasonal -- one of my favs) and "Kraker". Good stuff!
