8 mile cool down
After running after that pumpkin yesterday I took it easy and ran 8 miles at a comfortable pace. Fortunately for me, my comfortable pace over 8 miles appears to be 9:15ish.
I need to do some speed work though…and I need some running gloves, my hands may never thaw and it’s actually difficult to type this.
Is it possible to use 5K’s as my speed work? :) Be funny to put that in a training log: “Did 3.1 miles at 5K race pace for my tempo workout.”
Any way, I went to the barracks just so I could stick close to home. It was boring running around the course 4 times, but it was so nice out I hardly noticed.
