Am: woke up and drove up to river road ice house in new Braunfels, TX with Katie and Matt. Did a 2.25 mild warm up with some light strides. Took off with the gun to run around a controlled 5:30 mile pace for the run. First mile was mostly downhill, which meant killer uphill on way back since it was an out and back course. Ran about 5:03 for that first mile, slowed down pace to make it comfortable. First half was deceiving with a gradual uphill and headwind most of the way. Felt like I was running up provo canyon for the first half of the run. Turn around actually felt a lot better since I had somewhat of a tailwind and some nice stretches of slight gradual downhill. Felt a lot better on second half. Last mile was killer. 2.8ish cool down. Overall pleased with workout and effort. Solo run the whole way, which was expected. Really pretty/scenic route, but by no stretch of the imagination flat, like advertised. Glad to get up and get in a workout though. Solid week of miles. Glad the holidays are over so I can crack down even more on training. But will miss sleeping in and not working. On to a great 2015 racing season! Oh and weather money today! 40 degrees with 8-10mph wind. Can't complain with those conditions. Pretty sore after the early afternoon nap.
