I am really happy with today's workout. The body was feeling the best it has felt in months. I felt loose and rested. (Other than a messed up back)
Went into the first tempo feeling smooth. My breathing felt deep and relaxed until about 10 minutes in. I tried to visualize the 10 miler and settle in. It seemed to work until the last few minutes the effort crept up until I was breathing hard.
Settled into the second effort and tried to focus on relaxed breathing. I noticed my bra thing was much more laboured after 3 minutes. Great to get some motivation from Jon and Kip along the way. Pushed up the hill at the top of Boulevard. Stayed steady in the effort until the end.
I was pumped when I realized we had run pretty much 10 miles in 68 minutes and my body felt decent.
