River trail/Landfill. 3(1.5t with .5 recovery) Warmed up down to the bottom of the Hell Hole drop then jumped right into my 1st 1.5 miler. This was supposed to be 10k to 1/2 marathon race effort so I took what I judged I could run one at right now. Goal was 5:47 for all three with no watch checking. Lets just say that someone overestimated his speed ability at this stage of the game. 1 - 1.5 @ 5:51 2 - 1.5 @ 5:49 3 - 1.5 @ 5:53 That was tough. I turned off the music so I could concentrate on breathing and form. That didnt help much cause I was gasping and wheezing something horrible and probably looked like a mess of stick arms and legs flailing everywhere. I didnt think I could do more than one but Im trying to be better at going out of my comfort zone so I pushed through the 2nd and just hoped that I was close on the 3rd cause I was spent. These where probably more LT than tempo pace but its been so long since I ran really hard that I wasnt sure where I stood speed wise. 1.8 cool down back home.
