Warmed up 2 miles to sv, then took my time stretching. The weather was sunny, but a morning breeze made it kinda chilly. Trevor was already on the track doing the same workout. The workout was 3x1200 @ ipace (4:21 for me) and 2x1000 @ ipace (3:37 for me) with a 3:00 recovery in between. I did the math while warming up, and I think it is around a 5:48 mile, which seemed fast. When I finally got going, it was already pretty hard. I mostly worked on staying focused. The 1200 times were: 4:18, 4:20, 4:20. The 1000 times were: 3:40 and 3:42. The first 1200 stayed really consistent for 200 splits. The second and third ones I started way fast and struggled keeping pace. The last 100 was always hard. I got a quick drink, then did the 1000s. They were really difficult. I started on pace, but fell off towards the end. They weren't too slow, and my body was pretty dead. I felt pretty light headed during the 1000s and almost didn't finish the second. I'm glad I could do the workout, though. It took forever for me to start my cool down home. My feet, head, and butt hurt, so I just shuffled up the hill super slow. I stopped when I got to the top. My body was just out of energy. I finally finished the 2 miles home, then didn't do anything for an hour. My knee only hurt the first mile of the warmup snd the last 1200, so that was good.
Around 4, I did 3.5 miles with Ruby. We went up Birch, but didn't get to the second gate because there were a bunch of cars parked, so we turned around. There were some puddles, and Ruby couldn't make a decision to go around or through the puddles. She either stopped, then went around or ran right through em. We extended around the block to get the full mileage for the day. It was super nice weather! Felt like summer. Our average pace was an 8:38, which sped up when we got off of the trail.
