Running Log: Thursday, January 28 2010

Maryhill Rd -> Great Western -> Queen Margaret -> Fergus Hill Circuits x 5

5 miles in 30:00, average pace 6:00/mile

2.4 mile loop in 13:04, average pace 5:27/mile
Splits: 5.23, 5.33, 5.25/pace
2.6 mile circuits in 16.55, average pace 6:30/mile
Splits: 6.33, 6.30, 6.08/pace

Notes: evening run, 7 degrees (45 F) with moderate west wind; felt good for the circuits this time but I also eased the effort on them to start; upon finishing the circuits, I considered doing another 2.4 mile tempo loop (since my legs had some spring left, surprisingly) but decided to be conservative since my lower back pain lingers - though the hip pain has gone; I am keenly aware of a lack of preparation time between now and XC Nationals at Falkirk, especially with my lack of base miles over the past six months.
