OK, so, after running these last 5 times, I figured I'd try running with a little pace control...and a little fast. Well, that didn't work out TOO WELL...but, here's what we did. First three links are from Steve's GPS watch.

Cruising out to set the 1/4 mile markers - map/data. Obviously no problem jogging out to the gate.

1st mile at pace - map/data. This started WAY too fast...then slowed a bit, but, sheesh, did a 6:30 pace average, when we were shooting for 7:30. Oops.

2nd mile run - map/data. This was harder. Note the extreme slow down. Back up hill for one, and just plain tiring. Quarters, per my watch, were basically 6:30, 7:20, 7:40, 8:20....so a total of 7:30...so hit final pace, but lacked consistency.

Finished up with a little walk/jog of about 1.88 mi back to office.

So, we did about 5 miles total overall.

Today, after the run, what hurt were y hamstrings. OUCH!! Man, I have't felt my hamstrings like this in a LONG time! So, I guess that's good.

We'll definitely be doing this again, but trying to use his watch to warn us of faster or slower pace... Hard, but fun, and definitely worth it!
