Tom and I were greeted with a stiff, cool wind this morning. Our warm up route was straight into that wind for 2 miles. But then we got to take advantage of the tail wind for our 2 x 2 mile intervals. I was able to hold a 7:45 pace for all four miles. The first set was a bit easier because of the great tailwind and it being the first one. The second one I had to do some ziggin' and some zaggin' towards the end and had to go into the wind and slight up hill a bit. But I was happy with the pace. I'm looking forward to running Hobble Creek 1/2 marathon this Saturday. The last several 1/2s that I have done have been as a pacer. It will be good to see what I can do. |
