8 miles

Again-another note to self-remember to bring your watch on a run....especially if it's a time trial. DUH!

Well at least Dave brought his and gave me my time
8 miles-1:18
= 9:45 pace

I don't know if the lack of a watch was a good thing or a bad thing. I was dying to know what my time was at certain points, even though I didn't know the mile marker at those points. So I really don't know what good that would have done me, but I was still wanting to look for a time.

I'm surprised at the pace. I really thought it felt like an 11 mm pace. Needless to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. I was just concentrating on keeping up with Beth and Lynn. Thanks ladies!

It's not Henniger

6 miles up around Rose Bowl and back 57:45. My goal was just to keep up with Lynn!

3.25 miles

31:28 = 9:41 pace

Good enough since my short tempo pace target is 9:42. Yup-I'd say that's on target.

5 miles?

Really? Seriously? It sure felt like 50!

50:51 - 10:06 pace

I don't think Monday night's 10x200 hill repeat sprints helped me AT ALL keeping up with you- Thanks Carmen. I really had a hard time. I needed the push and look at our times. Yeah.

Goal should be a 9:57 mid tempo pace, but I'm sure that doesn't take into account hills and doing sprint hill repeats the night before!

4.75 miles

4.75 mi =54:30
11.43 pace
I think the 1 mile + 50 burpees + lap + 25 burpees had something to do with that time. I really thought we were doing a much faster pace. I'm glad we didn't do the full 6 miles we were intending to do. My legs were trashed, plus we got confused at one section.

We, Carmen and I, went down Arbolada and missed the uphill jog, ending up on Foothill. It took a bit to get oriented since we were expecting to end up on Baldwin. Luckily we were only a few yards?feet? off so getting back on track wasn't so bad.

But what a strange feeling when you know you're familar with some place, but know it doesn't feel right, but can't immediately place where you are, but can't believe you're that far off, but don't really think you are, but.......

yeah burpees (not)

Test in -a short 1 mile (9:28?)
50 burpees
repeat warm up lap
25 burpees

cutoff time 30 minutes. Didn't think I'd complete but I did with about 4 minutes? to spare.

Need to work on my push ups. Add done from the toes, but I know my form can be much better and I know there's so much more room for improvement. I know I need to go lower but just don't have the strength? flexibility? After all these years I still can't do it. Sucks! But I will still keep trying.

It was nice to see some familiar faces out there. And some new ones.

8 miles at 1:24:38 = 10:34 conversational race pace ;)
