2 Loops at Green Lake
It’s been since June of 09 that I’ve run on the road, and I can honestly say, I’m quite happy to be back on the road and quite surprised at my overall time. Sometimes I even surprise myself.
Met at Chateau Roberts for a pre-run coffee and to go over some training spreadsheets then headed down to Green Lake for a double loop. Left from Gregg’s Cycle shop, (so when we finished up we could do some shopping!), and then proceeded around the lake twice.
Lots of baby strollers and dogs to dodge but I must admit, it was quite fun. I’ve got to remember to relax and keep my head pointed forward and not up. I tend to let my head tilt back which slows me down. If I can just keep focused on the ground in front of me I think I’d be better off. I’m thinking/hoping that without this cold that I’ve got (and can’t seem to kick) that I might have actually been a little faster. (one can hope right?)
I wasn’t quite “ready” for a 6 miler, and my plan only called for 5, but managed to eek out 6. Sure wish I wouldn’t have forgotten my Gu pre-run and during. I could have used it.
The “plan” was to do 10:1’s and to my surprise I was actually hitting the mile markers faster that 10 minutes, so I decided to walk a minute at the mile marker.
Overall I’m quite pleased with my effort this morning and very grateful to have the friends that I do. Thanks M and S! I really appreciate it!
