Misty Tuesday

My programme for today was to 30 mins with the second 15 mins at 15km race pace. I had no idea what 15km race pace should but according to Mcmillan running calculator it is 6.07/km. Seems reasonable I thought so I headed down to my regular haunt of Queen's Park. It was a bit spooky this morning as it was very misty down in the park and I couldn't see more than 20 metres ahead or me at times. It was lovely and cool though. I'm enjoying running on these nice cool mornings.

I did 15 mins at an easy pace and then set Garth to pace me for 15 mins at 6.07 pace. We set off around the oval at the top of Queen's park doing about 3 1/2 laps of the area. It's not totally flat so it was good practice to keep the pace up even on the incline up section and then recover a bit on the way back. Garth kept telling me I was ahead and the first km went by in 6.02, a bit quick so I eased back a little bit. At the end of the workout I had done 15 mins at 6.08 so pretty good pacing. I enjoyed this workout as I felt like I was working reasonably hard but not flogging myself. A slight niggle in the right achilles that went away again and a slight twinge in the bad knee but that went away again too. It's all good :)
