PM... 10.25 miles total. Unfortunately on the way to Liberty Park I got pulled over... along with 5 other people. If you're in the area of 9th and 9th--BE CAREFUL!!! The cops were standing behind signs, trees and cars along the side of the road to get speed readings coming down the hill by East HS. Yes--you read correctly--they were STANDING and then would step into the road and wave people over. I was pulled over with about 5 people, and as soon as I left, I saw them pull over another five cars. Can't say as I've ever seen anything like it. Not a good start to the workout, but what can you do!? Once at Liberty, [E] 2 mile warm-up, then 2x3 miles on woodchip trail around the park. Workout went as follows... 3 Mile #1 - 17:18 (5:45, 5:48, 5:45) 2:00 recovery jog
3 Mile #2 - 17:20 (5:52, 5:49, 5:39) I was pretty much spent after this workout--but more in my legs than aerobically. I was a little disappointed to feel so dead at the end of it considering it was only 6 miles and the pace really wasn't all that fast. But I was happy to at least get this sort of workout in and it definitely shows how much work I have to do. My lower calf/achilles didn't really bug me very much, so hopefully staying on the soft surface will prove helpful. After did [E] 2 mile cool down.
