Tempo run for the week. We ran it along Jeremy Ranch road which I know pretty well. We ran a warm up of almost 2 miles. There were SO many cows wandering around and running with us, and in front of us. Kinda scary... Then we started the tempo. The team stayed in a tight group for the first 2.5 miles. It is a different experience running tempo with a big group instead of one or two other people. I stuck with the big group and about mile 4.5 on the road I seperated the big group and went with the lead group. The big hills after mile 5 were really brutal but it helped to chase girls down and push with them. The tempo was 5.37 long and I averaged 6:27. I felt pretty good again. I know that I pushed myself the best that I could and I was glad I knew the road and what was coming. I ran 3 miles cool down to get to 10. XC camp was not as scary as I thought it would be and was so fun! |
