Training has started out strong. Tuesday I ran five miles along the beach in Del Mar and then did a little hike on the cliffs. Pretty amazing scenery but my running left a little to be desired, as I was strolling along at about a 9:00/mile pace.
Wednesday I boldly ventured back into the world of intervals. I rolled up to the beach at Cardiff-by-the-Sea and did a mile warm up run. I had the intention of doing about five 800s but after the first one realized I should start out with 400s. So all in, I ran an 800 followed by 8 400s. The beach shredded my legs and my last two intervals were quite slow but I made it.
Thursday a did a tempo run. I ran a warm up mile at about a 9:20/mile pace and then ran three miles at about 8:40/mile. I walked for half a mile and then did a mile cool down jog. The time on the tempo needs to come down to about 8:15-8:20/mile. Still have some work to do!
