It was raining this morning which is actually a good thing because it means that it wasn't cold enough for it to snow. I wanted to get in a good long run today just to see if I still had it in me. I wasn't concerned about the pace, just about getting the miles in. I woke up at 3:30 at couldn't go back to sleep so I got ready and ran 9 miles before hooking up with the running club. I figured that if there was a group running 5-7 miles at 8:00-8:30 pace I would run with them. I was able to run a few miles with Lora at 7:45/mile. After she turned back towards the rec center, I continued on at maintained about the same pace. Around mile 16 my legs started to get tight and tired. This is usually when my legs start to protest so I wasn't concerned. I actually felt really good during the run and was surprised since I haven't run longer than 16 miles in a few months. Total Time: 2:38:03 (7:47/mile) |
