AM Workout:
KEY WORKOUT - 10 Mile Run - Bayonne (moderately hilly)
Total Time: 1:19:40 (7:58 min/mile pace)
Temperature: 37F
Weather: Clear, little winds
Wow, going under 8 minutes per mile pace over 10 miles. I achieved this goal sooner than expected! The planets really did align themselves right today. The rest day yesterday allowed me to fully recover from the hard training early in the week. The mild temps also allowed for the usage of lighter, looser clothes, as well as eliminate all the black ice that I saw 2 days ago when the temps were in the 20s. My legs were bouncing like springs throughout the run, but I never would have thought I would trump the time I did on a less hilly course on Tuesday. The Bayonne Bridge is an imposing hill in itself, both going and coming back; I'm just glad that I was never in danger of fading out when I crossed that bridge twice.
That's a great standard I set today. Boy, that is going to be tough to beat in the coming days. :-)
Key Workout #3 of 4 done. The last key workout is a hard 20 miles on the bike and will probably be set for tomorrow if all goes as expected.
