Time: 35:15
Pace: 8:48 min/mi
Comments: The idea was to segue right into another week with one rest day during the week and one on the weekend. So, with a regular run the day after a long run, it would seem to behoove one to make it a recovery effort. Of course I blast out a speed workout.
The 8:48 min/mi pace was my fastest in the last six weeks. But I really wasn't planning on doing that. I warmed up pretty quickly and realized I had the wind at my back. So I got a good first two miles in and just tried to keep the pace up as best I could on the back half facing the headwind. It just worked out better than I expected.
