Wanted to do some fast downhill miles to get used to quicker turnover. Thought about maybe doing 6 downhill sub 5:20 at lunch but that didn't work out. I got out late (12:30) and was in a time crunch. In addition to mid 70s weather, there was a 10+ mph headwind down the canyon. I did four (5:32, 5:41, 5:49 (a south turn on Foothill and navigating across the street), 5:45) and called it quits. My miles back up to the office were 8:50 pace so that's abou as good as I was feeling. Calling them marathon pace because they were hard. Not worried about this work out as I am just having fun this week and next (after the Tuesday unfunness).
