YHC arrived to Tradition at 5:27am to allow time for a quick warm up in the sub freezing temps. NO ONE was in the lot. As my M and her friend went off on five finger death punch run, YHC assumed I would be running solo. Then a familiar CRV came towards the kid on two wheels. One of the first things out of @Sterling’s mouth as he approached was, “I don’t know about this 7:30 pace crap.” The man was worried about ONE mile that we wouldn’t run until an hour later! Gotta get out of your own head to break down those mental boundaries, brother!

Two routes for a total of nine miles were covered.

We picked up @Landlord a little over halfway into the first route.

The goal for the two runs was to meet or beat (within the confines of the next goal pace) the following paces:

9:30>9:15>9:00>8:45>8:30>8:15>8:00>7:45>7:30

These runs are great practice for teaching the body to negative split races!

Moleskin:

Thanks to the guys that made it for indulging me this morning. You actually made it more challenging for me since we talked the whole time. To those that read my post Thursday, thought, “that’s too complicated, I just want a regular cruise…I’ll pass,” blame @No-H! Sign up before I do!

Speaking of @No-H, t-claps to him, @Schedule C, @Stifler, and @Blowout for heading to Crowders to heading to Crowders and getting some elevation training. I believe they covered 2,000 ft this morning.

Found out this morning that @Sterling is more progressive than he lets on. He commented on the length of my vest, my mittens, and was wearing rainbow colored shoes this morning.

SYITG!
