Another steady pace run

Another attempt at a steady pace run yesterday, this time for a planned 1:10.

Did this workout in the evening. I traveled down and back to Chicago today, so I spent basically from 6am until 5pm sitting. Then I got home, drank some water and went for a run.

So my plan was to do a big loop today but the road was completely shut down and dug up so I couldn't get through. So I went about halfway around the block and then came back the way I came. My goal was to run to the 35 minute mark or to 3.1 miles whichever was further and then turn around. I wanted to complete 10k. Mental milestones.

I hit the 35 minute mark at 3.3 miles so I turned around. I was a bit slower on the way back. Plenty of elevation change on this run too.

I kept the same run/walk paces as last time, and again I was a bit faster than the desired for a few miles, but as time wore on, I got closer to that time as I tired.

Oh, and longest distance at 6.6 miles (and time at 1:12) run to date.

Oh and even doing these paces, I was still faster than the best open 10k race time I had done 20 years ago.
