Today I ran at 9:00am and it was so nice! First, I ran up to my daughter's school to drop off her lunch then continued on to Davis Blvd. The first mile is uphill and while I felt fine, my Garmin indicated that my recovery was "fair." I haven't ever seen anything but "good." My heart rate was already at 85% after the first mile, but whatever, I was there. (9:13 mi)
A few short stop and go's for traffic, but it wasn't terrible. I decided to pick up the pace mid-run since I knew I was crossing a Strava segment. For some reason I thought it was a mile, but it was only .4. I pretty much ran harder and longer than I needed to, but I got the course record, which was the goal:) Ran back home and picked up the last downhill mile.
It felt moderatly hard overall. I'm happy with the pace for this course. I have always had a goal to average 7:00 on Davis, but have never been able to quite hit it. The ups and downs plus the traffic make it hard to go steady for a desired pace, but I think today's the closest I've come to that!
6 mi 42:22, 7:03ap
7:20, 7:24, 7:13, 6:46, 7:21, 6:13 (downhill)
PM- 3.3 mi at judgment free zone. Fun to run with Steve beside me on the TM. 8:30 ap
