Perfect morning for a run. Ideal temperature. Started with an easy 3 then ran 2 miles at marathon pace. Ran both miles in 6:50 which is a little faster than projected marathon pace but I wanted to see how it felt. Felt very good. Heart rate felt a little faster than MP so I know I could not sustain the pace for a full marathon. With 1/2 mile to go I could see Becky ahead. Slowly closed the gap until there was 0.2 miles left and I ran all out to catch up to her. Surprised how good that fast pace felt. |
