I ran with Daniel, Tyler, and Sasha this morning. We ran out to the end of the trail, running a fat mile on the way out. Sasha and I then said goodbye to the others and we ran the 5 mile tempo together. We were trying not to push the pace too much. Mile splits are 5:44, 5:42, 5:43, 5:28, 5:24. The last 2 miles felt harder than they should have. Probably because my sleep has not been ideal the last couple nights. I was just a little tired. My heart rate topped out at 183 during the last quarter of the tempo, when I hit a 77. We finished up with a cool down to get 14 miles for the run, with a total time of 1:35:20. On a side note, we met a crazy guy on the trail today. He was not wearing much clothing, and looked to be exercising. However, when we came up near him he started yelling incomprehensible things, jumped in front of us, and gave Sasha a slap on the back. This happened 2 more times in one fashion or another during the workout, with him coming out of the bushes to scare us the last time. Weird.
