10:50 pm - 6.5 miles
Well apparently my GI tract was not happy with me tonight. The plan was to do my 4.3 mile warm-up loop easy followed by my 1.47 mile test loop fast and then the 4.3 mile loop again. On my warm-up loop thinks were feeling a bit off, and of course I had to make a pit stop at Smiths again (It is a nice clean restroom). I figured all was taken care of but apparently I was wrong. My 400 splits on my test loop were 88, 93, 92, 91, 86 and 77 (356 meters -0.22 miles). I will spare you all of the disturbing details but let’s just say better out than in (I guess) and no 4.3 mile cool down loop as clean-up became a priority.
Last week I ran my test loop in 8:44.3 and this week I ran it in 8:50.2. I was slower by 6 seconds but I will chalk it up to not feeling well.
I am feeling better now however.
