AM: 18.8 miles easy with Ben and Bryant, avg pace 6:33/mile. The weather was a lot cooler and enjoyable. We ran the Aerobic Builder route and then extended it into reverse Monroe Your Boat. I felt a bit weak earlier in the run (maybe due to yesterday's fast?), but strong at the end. Ben was adding on after Bryant and I finished; he was feeling good.

PM: 4.5 miles easy around my 'hood with 4x12 second strides on the soccer field, avg pace 6:32/mile.

10.65 miles on the trails by headlamp with Ben, Denver, and Ken for first part, avg pace 8:22/mile. We were a tad slower due to Ben's headlamp going out and him trying not to die (or sprain an ankle).

AEROBIC BUILDER: 3x4

I met Jon and Ben at Smiths. We warmed up just over 2.5 miles and I threw in one stride. Then we started a three by four-mile workout. I was aiming for 5:21 pace, as I feel that may be close to 5:15 sea level effort. But as usual I had a hard time not being a tad quick. I need to aim for 5:25 next time so it ends up at 5:21. We took about four minutes between sets. I had to take a quick stop at a ports pottie during second set.

PM: 7.3 miles on the Riverdale Parkway, avg pace 6:37/mile. I felt surprisingly good considering this morning's workout. Tomorrow may be a different story...

LONG RUN - QUICK PACE

I met Bryant at Farmington Station for a long run. We did two ten-mile loops on the Legacy Parkway and on the Rail Trail. We did 2-mile warmup, 16 miles at marathon pace + 15 seconds, and a 2-mile cooldown. We stopped briefly at the cars at ten miles to drop off headlamps, grab a drink, and use secret bathroom.

Splits for 16 mile pickup: 531 535 531 525 528 527 533 530 531 528 527 531 530 527 529 527

I felt strong and Bryant did awesome.
