PM - 6 miles total, broken up into 3 segments: 1 - 1.5 miles from home to the church for Webelos scouts. It was actually a bit shorter, so I added some distance by running past the church and then doubling back. Average pace of 7:34/mile. 2 - 1.5 miles from the church back to home. Wind was at my back, subsequently my pace was a bit faster. Average pace of 7:22/mile. 3 - 3 miles outside with Sparky. Started off nice and easy and gradually increased the pace throughout the entire run. Average pace of 8:02/mile. After some discussion with RivertonPaul, I feel it will be most beneficial to incorporate some of the Tinman training concepts into my training as I prepare for the LA Marathon. Especially the tinman pace. At the same time, since I would also like to improve on my shorter distance PR's, I will be incorporating some speedier work into my runs, as time permits. I am excited for what this new year will bring in terms of new records. I feel confident that I will be able to continue to improve this year.
