Ran 1 mile with Benjamin in 7:55, then ran another 7 miles with Sasha. Can I just say, I am SOOOOO envious of all the bloggers who have running partners! Tonights run was so much fun. We ran at a nice clip the entire time, with the exception of two pit stops. During the 5th and 7th miles, we did 1/4 mile pickups at Sasha's threshold pace, and I was amazingly able to keep up. The pickups translated to a sub-5:10 pace. I know that part of it had to do with having a partner running with me - gets the competitive juices flowing, but boy did it feel good! The rest of the run was somewhere around 7:30 pace. Felt nice and relaxed. Ran again in my grid tangents to break them in some more. They feel much better than the axioms did. Just my feet, I guess. |
