This morning we drove out to the national forest to do a Long run. Coach Jesse told us to run comfortably, but not too easy and not so hard to kill ourselves. So in the dark we took off into the woods. I kinda initiated things from the get go. I ran 6:48 the first mile and Julius was the only one running with me. He was moving this morning so i thought I'd run with him as long as he wasn't running too fast. Sure enough, we ran 6:22 and then another 6:22 right after that. I saw this on my watch and was a bit shocked to see that we were running this fast. It wasn't hurting though so I told myself to just stay even and not to run any faster and it should go fine. We went 6:26, 6:24, 6:23, 6:21, 6:19, 6:19, 6:18, then I got a little happy with myself and closed in 6:09, and 5:58. One hour, sixteen minutes and about 20seconds give or take a few.
This run really pleased me because this run would have in the past not been fairly difficult, but now my fitness is so good that it was litterally a stroll through the woods. I really cannot wait for the VO2 max workouts now. I think after a couple weeks of doing them I'm going to run like a bat out of hell. >:)
