Plan was to do hilly 10 mile route. Used to do this route a lot in earlier days, but got frightened of it when my IT band blew up on it. Challenging route with plenty of beefy hills. Had no Garmin so I had to guess on distance and turned around where I thought 5 mile mark was. When I got home I adjusted distance because thought this was more in line with actual pace. Doesn't really matter though because this was about getting out on a beautiful fall day, working hard and enjoying the spectacular views of the changing colors on the rolling hills...oh, and as always, negative splitting. :)
After months of steady easier pace runs, I'm enjoying burning off the energy with these tempo runs. While I am pushing the pace on these, I am not red-lining. Just for the fun of it.
