Average pace was 8:33 overall according to Paul's Garmin. I was feeling tired from lack of sleep but felt pretty good physically. Had a few surges during the run with Larry and Pual. Finished the last half mile at about a 6:40 pace.
HRM read between 135-150bpm for all of run excepting the surges.
Normal hill run for Wednesday. Took it slower than normal. Only finished 1 minute up on Paul and Larry. Larry seems to be getting stronger. Got only 5 hours sleep - feeling tired. No HRM.
Got out with Paul only. Ran first 2 miles at 6:45 pace, Ran last 6 at sub 8 minute pace. Finished 8 miles in 62 minutes. Felt good throughout, though the first mile was a bit painful while waking up. No HRM worn.
Paul Larry Wayne & I ran up past Bridal Veil Falls for a total of 15 miles. Pace was 7:55 for most of run. HRM read 150-160 except for a few surges and the last three miles when I was at a 6:50 pace and HRM was at 181 bpm. Felt great throughout run.
