Ran up to the Bountiful Temple and back home. Whenever I don't feel like running fast, I try to put in some hills to compensate. Not sure if this was such a good idea today. Had to stop for a minute on the way up to fight off a wave of nausea. The wind was blowing down the canyon pretty hard so it took a lot of effort to run uphill into the wind. Mile 4 took 11 minutes (I never imagined an 11 minute mile being so much work). Coming back down was better but my legs were too beat up to get in a groove on the downhill. To top everything off, it feels like the mid-soles of my shoes have lost their cushioning. Guess I'll have to stop by the running store to pick up a pair of new shoes today. This run put me over 2,500 miles for the year. I only expected to get up to 2,200 this year. Avg HR = 156 Total Time = 1:30:56 (8:16/mile) |
