Track Workout - 7 Miles

I headed to Manayunk for a track workout this evening. There were only two of us on the track as Todd (coach) kept our times and our spirits high; especially with everyone in the entire city and surrounding towns getting ready for the World Series. I warmed up with a two mile run at a 8:40 pace. As I stretched waiting for Marissa to arrive, Todd had me start without her. The first order of business was to run two miles at half-marathon pace. I was able to hold a 7:45 pace consistently throughout the quarters. Next, I ran two miles at marathon pace. I struggled to get a constant pace during the run. I was aiming to run at a 8:30 pace, but was very inconsistent with the pace ranging from 8:10 to 9:00. Finally, we ended with a one mile cool-down.
