Tempo run today, except not quite because those of us who are racing in the Freedom Run 10k, just helped pace the other kids today as we will be racing on Monday. I went and helped pace Ryan. He did really good today. He hit a 6:22 for his first mile and then I'm not sure what his last mile was, but he was hitting a 5:30 pace for at least the last half mile. Then afterwards I ran toward lone peak and cooled down. It was supposed to be recovery pace, which I was really grateful for, and on the way out I was towards the top end of the pace range, but then once I turned back and came back up the lone peak dip I picked it up on the down hill and then I was able to just keep it up and not have to push it really that much and then on the whole way back I was towards the bottom end of the pace range and I was getting some low 6:50s on the whole way back and I felt totally fine too.
