AM - 9 miles. First 20 minutes easy then a few AT miles on the tempo loop (5:37, 5:32, 5:27) to get warm and loose. Another 10 minutes easy and then got going with the actual workout: 10 x 30 seconds uphill on a gradual incline (~3.5%) at 3K/VO2 effort. Jogged back between reps. Cooled down a little bit more w/ Andrea. Felt like I was moving very well on the 30s efforts.
PM - 6 miles.
Its been almost 8 weeks since CIM... now I'm finally ready to start training for real. Three races on the spring schedule, evenly spaced out about a month apart, ascending order of importance. I feel very confident that I have a good training plan (tweaking this thing has been a month-long process that has finally come together thanks to some major help from across the Atlantic). No excuses this year... my goal is to earn a spot on the line at a little run around Los Angeles on February 13, 2016.
