Ran a 10K in La Conner for my tempo run. It was a bit rainy, but mostly windy.
The course goes through town and then out on the flats.
It hurt worse than I've hurt in a while... mostly tight stomach. Felt good otherwise even with illness this week. Ran with my GPS... set it for 8:15 pace.
I worked mostly on maintaining relaxed pace: shoulders back and down, stance forward with controlled breath. Ended up with a 48:20 about 7:45 pace.
Very flat course.
I'd say that was a good day... back in the day (20 years ago) I dreamed of 7:30 pace and a 45 10K. Not bad for an old lady!
Next week is 3 x 1600 on the track... 4 mile tempo and 10 miler.
