Taper Run

Five miles on local roads, 45:30, pace 9:06. I did try to go fast enough to get under 9-minute miles, and didn’t quite make it. Excuses: (1) It was DEX day; (2) This was a hilly route; and (3) I ate breakfast less than two hours before the run. Anyway that’s what I could do today. Breathing was fairly hard, often three footfalls per full breath, which is race pace.

But it was a good five miles, passing my sweeties three or four times as they ran a 5k. It’s a masterpiece.



Lunch: Cold roast bison, organic mustard, mineola segments, organic sweet potatoes roasted with herbs, organic catsup.
