10.1 miles with Sasha and Mary Ann this morning. Daniel joined us for the first 3. Total time of 1:17:37. PM: 4 miles in 28:46 with a couple sections thrown in the middle at a higher intensity. The first hard section was 1.5 miles into the run, and I ran .5 in 2:33. It would have been a 2:32 but I slowed near the end because of my turn-around, and I didn't want to stop suddenly. Then I ran an easy quarter before running one more quarter hard in 1:18. This last quarter involved running through a tunnel and almost plowing over a lady pushing a stroller, so it is also a little slower than it should have been. I then finished up running home. The whole purpose of doing this was to simulate race pace for Saturday without really pushing it too hard. I feel like 5:10 pace should be reasonable for the majority of the race as long as the weather is good.
