Ran through Ladera Ranch for 6 miles, then a short cooldown. Pushed the pace and got my average pace down to 6:48. I was hoping to go faster, but that's OK. It was sort of a mix between a tempo and a hill workout.

I enjoyed the sights, sounds, and smells of nature.

I started out on a great trail here in Ladera Ranch. Nicely groomed and great views. About 1.5 miles into it, I came across a large rattlesnake right in the middle of the trail that I almost stepped on. It scared the heebeegeebees out of me, and as soon as I saw it I turned around and ran as fast as I could the other way. It shook its rattle at me. Then I went to the comfort of the roads and actually had a nice workout with some hill repeats. 6.4 miles. Average pace was 7:07.

I had a great workout today. It was my last while in California, so I wanted to get in a speed workout. The local school is about 3/4 mile around, so I ran on the roads around it and did 1/4 mile repeats. This is the first time in like a year that I've done these. Not sure why it's been so long, but I want to do them again soon. Anyway, I did 1/4 rest intervals, which were in about 2:00 each, so not bad. Here are my splits:

81.1

76.7

81.8

73.3

83.7

80.2

69.8

79.9

There's not really any flat roads around here, so some sections were up or downhill a bit. But I was really happy to get below 70 on one, even though it was slightly downhill and at low elevation. I had worried that I was no longer capable of running that fast. Now I need to get to where it feels more natural to run fast.

This week I ran just over 20 miles. Three solid workouts and that's about it.
