Goal: 5xmile at 5:10-5:15 with 90 seconds rest.
Actual: 4.45 mile tempo on Bay Road at 5:37. 12 total on the day.
Notes: Ran 1.8 looking for Wes around the fieldhouse. Ended up running with Wes in Newmarket after somewhat of a fiasco involving dead car batteries, baby care, and miscommunication. We warmed up 1.1, and then we tempoed out to the Jackson's Lab turnoaround and went steady back. We went 5:37 pace for the 4.45 out tempo on the hills which was awesome, especially for the headlamps, snowfall, slushy roads, and surprising lack of traffic. The most precarious part of the run was the downhills where a misstep could have sent one of us flying. We tacked on a .1 loop for 9 miles of total good effort, averaging 6:09 pace. Not bad for an evening run! I was happy to get out there since at one point it looked like we might bag the workout and save it for another day.
