Met Adam and Josh for our 8 mile loop from West High through the avenues. Warmed up 4 and then Josh wanted to do 2 faster miles. I didn't really know what I was going to do as far as pace so I just wanted to stay sub-6. The first was alright, but I was definitely pushing myself. I was pleased when it came in at 5:34. I slowed on the second along the flat section before turning down into Memory Grove. Along that section I thought about backing off the effort and just being satisfied with a 6:00 flat. I dismissed that and decided to push the pace again on the down. I was hoping to drop the average back down into the 5:30s, but it came in at 5:44. Pleased with the times and my ability to not give up during mile 2 when I wanted to.
The inagural run in the Kinvara 5s was a pleasure. They are super light, comfortable, and all around dreamy.
