Training – Fri, Jan 23 – Easy 5 Miles
Had a great run today. The schedule called for an easy five miles at an 8:07 pace.
I clocked the first mile at 8 minutes, and increased the pace because I was feeling great. Miles two through four were 7:30. In my last mile, I did a few sprints and brought the pace to 6:40.
- 8:02
- 7:30
- 7:35
- 7:23
- 6:41
I won’t run tomorrow, as Sunday is the Chilly Cheeks trail run. It’s a 7.2 mile trail race. Sponsored by Pretzel City Sports, the Chilly Cheeks is one of their toughest races, maybe its MOST challenging course on a “per mile” basis. I just LOVE the tagline for this race:
“The only thing colder than this race is the race director’s heart!”
Fifteen avid “hamilton area trail runners” (including myself) will carpool to the race in Reading PA.
