I ran from home to ISB, going via the Union Bay Natural Area, Foster Island, the Arboretum, Interlaken Park, and Volunteer Park. My legs felt tired, which makes perfect sense after yesterday's brisk run, and the running was mostly effortful. I did have a few moments of feeling good, and that was a pleasant surprise.

Joggers Mile predicted time race. The object is to run--without wearing a watch--as close to your predicted time as possible (and times under 5:00 can not be considered jogging and thus are grounds for disqualification.) I predicted that I would run 6:10, and after a 1:29 first lap, I slowed just enough to run exactly my predicted time and won--just like in the good ole days!
Terry predicted she would run 11:00, then she crossed that out and put 10:30...then crossed that out and put 10:15. She ended up running 9:14, doing quite poorly in the predicted-time event, but being surprised and pleased at her fitness being better than she expected.

A bit of jogging to stay somewhat warmed up between the Joggers Mile and the mile race.
I ran the mile race, treating it as a long interval, rather than as an all-out race. I listed a seed time of 5:30, thinking my time would be around there, or maybe 5:25. Putting together four 80-second laps seemed like it would probably be out of reach, given my total lack of interval training and general lack of much training at all lately.
However, I was pleasantly surprised to run 78, 80, 80, 77, even feeling like kicking a bit on the last lap and passing a few runners. It felt fast but good--a fun race.
I ran via Ravenna Park and Blvd. to Green Lake, around the lake along the outside path, and back home. I felt remarkably good for the first half hour or so, then after I stopped to do a few pull-ups at the South end of the lake, I got tired, and my heart rate started going up into the 150s.
