I ran with Sasha, Josse, Michelle, and Matt today. We did 6x1 mile repeats with a goal pace of 5:50. After a little less than 2.5 warm up we did our first repeat, finishing in 5:47. We did a quarter mile recovery followed by a mile back the same way we came out in 5:49. Another mile out in 5:46, followed by a mile back in 5:45, a mile out in 5:44, and a mile back in 5:42. Sasha was towing Josse, so their times were a little slower, and I was pacing Michelle and Matt. Michelle was hurting on the last repeat going through the half mile in 2:56 (5:52 pace) but then picked it up and ran the last quarters in 1:26, 1:20 to finish off the workout. We then ran back to Sasha's house to finish off the run. Total, 12 miles in 1:34:21. PM - I was at work and one of the guys decided that he wanted to go to his mom's house. I agreed to take him and I let one of the other guys ride my bike so we could get there quicker. So, I was on foot and the other two were on bikes. I ended up walking at times because I didn't feel like running the whole way, (I was wearing jeans and crappy shoes, I didn't want to go running too much in that and summer heat) and running at times so that I could catch up to the guys. I will count it as half a mile of running. I think it is about twice as far to her house, but I didn't run the whole way so I think it evens out. Maybe I should count everything plus rectroactively add in the 30+ miles a week I was putting in on my bike for 3.5 months during school just to tick off all of those mileage board fanatics :)
