Run - Road tempo (Snip & back) 27:27 6.2 km (4:26 / km) +50m4:15 / km shoes: Salomon TR2
run at dusk while kids watched a movie (Jungle Book). Ran hard from the start, determined to see if I still had anything close to a 20 minute 5k in me. Hit the 2.5k mark in exactly 10minutes, but knew I couldn't keep that pace up for another 10 minutes. Kept at it as best I could out to the bridge at the lake, turned around and headed for home. Hit the 5km mark (according to GPS) at 21:01. Eased off and ran easy the remainder of the way.
Nice way to end a gorgeous day. Need to force myself out the door more often, but perhaps not quite so hard
Run - Mixed (Shafran) 50:00 10.4 km (4:48 / km) +170m4:27 / km shoes: Salomon TR2
Ran over to Shafran - 5 min on road, then trails taking a random assortment of options, skipping bridges in favor of direct stream crossing, cutting some trail corners in the woods etc. Distance is GPS time. When I reached 9km at around 40 minutes, I decided to head home and do it as fast as I could so roughly 10 minutes at intensity 5. Hit the road and kept pushing to see if I could get home under 50 minutes. Hit the driveway exactly as it rolled over. Then proceeded to collapse in my chair on the breezeway in the fine autumn sunshine for well over a half hour. Legs are quite tired now (in a good way)
