01.30.2020 Thursday Training

Just a 2-mile run this morning.  I applied to be a pacer at the Dallas Hot-chocolate 15K a few months ago and got a call back a few days ago letting me know they had a spot open up. So...I will be the 8:00 min/mi pacer and practices my two miles at 8:00 Min pace this morning.  The first mile was a 7:59 which was perfect.  Starting mile #2 I was going down the biggest hill on my 2-mile loop.  I knew the I would be coming back up that hill when I got to the bottom so I tried to keep my effort going down the hill and up the hill even with the first mile, but was at about a 7:40 min/mile pace as I was nearing the top of the hill on the way back up. I eased up a bit but still was about a 7:50 for the second mile so I need more practice.  :-)  

I got my first swim of the year in yesterday so even though it was only a 2-mile run this morning my training time in the last 24-hours didn't drop. It just is split in two ways.  The swim was awesome.  I love getting in the pool and swimming.
