Great run today. It was cooler- 40 degrees. Officially 39 at the end of my run, so there's the 30's they prediced. I was so grateful it wasn't colder. I dressed warm and didn't regret it at all. I don't usually pay much attention to to forecast, but was grateful for it this morning. All my thanks to KP for bringing the cold front to my attention :-)
avg pace 8:35. first mile was 9:45, then I picked up the speed. I wanted to try and sustain the faster speed the whole distance, and still pull off something under 8mm for the last mile. I was pleased with how it worked out. Miles 4-6 were all at 8:31...I thought maybe my Garmin was broken because it never changed. In the end, I was really happy with my last mile being a 7:45. My legs were certainly tired by then, and I was wondering if my effort was actually speeding me up or just taking all I had to maintain.
Hope to get some bleachers in later today.
pm:
1.5 miles of bleacher work. It was tough..legs were pooped. Then finished with .5 mile around the track. |
