I was desperately in need of some hills. I haven't run near as many hills this training cycle as I usually do. Didn't want to over do it with the race coming up this weekend and still trying to recover from last week's illness. Decided to run up to Mueller Park canyon but not push the pace too much. Felt really good during the run. On the way down, I wanted to get 1 mile in at 1/2M pace. I pushed the pace for one mile and was very disappointed to see that I barely broke 7:00. I did have to stop for traffic a few times which threw off my pace but it was still slow. I wasn't tired but the pace felt faster than 7:00. My internal speedometer seems to be off. Total Time: 1:25:03 (8:30/mile - 48:00 going up/37:03 coming down) |
