I thought I was going to do some light wogging. What I didn't count on was the length of the loop around the airfield here at Fort Leavenworth. When I checked relative time based on when I thought I was going to get back (I was on a time crunch as the Princess was in gymnastics class and I definitely did not want to stand her up at the end of class waiting for a ride), this run turned from "light wogging" (which the first mile, which wasn't, but admittedly, almost all downhill) to "holyfuckingshit I need to get back pronto!" I don't consider this to be race pace by any stretch - and I was overdressed (if relative level of sweat after the run is any indicator) for it, but for relative effort, I thought it was pretty good. I do need to start sharpening based on an expected race pace of under 8:00/mi for any half-marathon or shorter. Maybe that'll come with speedwork later.
It did mark probably the fastest road running I've done in a while based on relative speed - the 3.82 loop is mostly flat, but the 0.28 that follows it is a brutal uphill (which I normally take at around 13-minute/mi pace or so based on relative effort).
I made it back, but I didn't realize how fast I was really going until I computed splits against distances.
So much for light work, but at least I ran today, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for yesterday.
Tomorrow needs to be an easy recovery run of about four or so.
