today i went an easy 5 with simone and alison. it was lovely and for the second day in a row, i totally overestimated (underestimated?) the weather and wore way too many layers. oh well; better too warm than too cold, i supposed.
on a side note, i realized that my pr course of 6 miles is too long. it's long enough that when i do it, i'm running the same pace as my long tempo/marathon pace workouts, which are actually shorter in length than that run. this tells me two things. 1) my long tempo workouts can be 6 miles instead of 4. 2) my pr course should be shorter so that i go faster. dave's recommendation was to have two different ones - one that is 4-4.5 miles (which is perfect since i already have that one that goes through suburbia) and one that is around 2 miles. i think that one will be kind of fun, once i get a course figured out. he also recommended that i do the shorter one a couple of times before i do the longer one and alternate them that way. i think that will be a much better workout. it's also pretty likely that i'll replace that workout with stuff on the track occasionally during the track season.
