June 2, 2009

11 miles on the Chatham course (and some extra down by Morris Island & the Campari's course.) Went out with the intention of making it a tempo/fast progression run.
Felt slightly tired at first and picked it up after 2, but the legs still didn't feel all too poppy. 3-4 had some funky wind and hilliness and I struggled with a 6:01 and a 6:07. I hit the reset after that and went from 5:55 to 5:38 from 5-10. Much better and I'm sufficiently toasted. I would have liked to be faster, but given how I felt energy-wise, a solid effort.
Did a cooldown mile and the whole thing ended up being at a 6:03 for the 11. My right achilles is a little sore, but that's got as much to do with the fact that I've been stretching out the pair of Idatens I got from Kevin as far as they'll go. They're done as of today, but the new pair I found on Ebay should be here tomorrow. Such a great shoe. I just wish I could get more than 200 miles out of them.
