It was windy and warmer than I expected so I was overdressed. Warmed up with 3 easy miles then ran 3 miles at tempo pace. I had a really hard time hitting the pace I wanted. I even had the aid of a tail wind and still ran too slow. First 2 miles were 6:35 and 6:27. Turned into the wind on the 3rd mile and also had the overpass. Ran it in 6:48 and knew I was done when I saw the split. It took a lot more work than it should have. Finished with 2 more easy miles too cool down. |
