Today was a beautiful day. My jogging class was going running today, so I was able to sleep in. I started my run at 11:25 and it was sprinkling a little bit, beautiful. I went out two miles (7:48 avg pace) when my back started hurting, took a break, and realized I probably needed to push it to threshold if I wanted to make it to class on time. So I did. My body flew down the street and back to class. It was beautiful. I kept up a very good pace until I got to my group and then had to wait for them to take roll and everything, so 5-8 minute break. My professor said we could go and I took off, pushing 6:00 for half a mile. I needed to drop my gloves off at my dorm and when I got back outside, everyone else was just getting to where my dorm was. Kept pushing it up University Parkway hill and down a bit the other side. I averaged 6:32 for the four miles of tempo which is the best I ever had. It helped that there was a kid that caught up to me when I toned it back who was going about 6:45 mile pace. I averaged 7:08 back to the SFH and my dorm. It was beautiful weather and I was wearing my awesome Fast Running Blog shirt. I think that works like a placebo and makes me unconsciously run faster. Afterwards I lifted in the weight room for about an hour. Upper body only. Abs will be on wednesday and I'm going to talk to the teacher about having to work out next week. DS Trainer 13 - 74. 56
