Met up tonight and ran with Mike L, he has not been running for about 2 months now because his knee has been hurting him. We were running really, really slow before he got hurt he was running like 9:45's and we were struggling hitting 11:30 pace. That was way to slow for me, it was pretty much a speed walk. I thought to myself, should I run ahead and then turn around or just hang with him. When we hit mile 2 he said why don't you run up and around pretty little road and I will run down the BYU dairy road and you try and catch me by the time I hit the Orton dairy. I quickly said that would be great. I left him when my watch said 2.2 miles
mile 1 10:52 :)
mile 2 11:14 :( :( :(
mile 3 7:38 this had .2 at a really slow pace
mile 4 6:18 this is an up hill section, about mile 7 of the spanish fork half.
mile 5 5:47 :) trying to catch Mike and as I turn down on the BYU dairy road I can't see him in sight, so I know that I need to kick it to catch him. I thought that I would catch him by the time he hit the turn, but I think he kicked his pace up a bit too. I hit mile 5 right before the hill at the dairy, I ran up the hill and caught him just past the dairy when he was getting ready to cross woodland hills dr. I asked him if he caught a ride, he laughed and said that he had a goal to not let me catch him. I had a flashing light on and he said that he could see me coming?
Mile 6 9:42
Mile .4 11:34, we had to wait a while to cross the highway.
ave pace 8:52
This was kind of a fun game, I would like to try it again and see if I could catch him sooner than the time before. |
