7:44 average pace. Yeah, and it felt good! Target was 8:09 pace, which is comfortable for me. I drove to Sedgwick County Park to run today because my roads are straight mud,and ran around the park on the blacktop bike path, which is nice because it is not cambered at all. I think all the dirt road running really alters my sense of speed when I get on the blacktop, because I kept trying to slow down to what I though was 8ish pace but my legs kept insisting on 7:45 pace. It felt comfortable, breathing was easy the whole time. At the last mile my right knee did something weird where it felt like it was made of jello and was going to give out. No pain whatsoever with this though. At the end I was able to walk and stretch it off. Weird. My IT band on that side acts up from time to time so I wonder if that is just a weird symptom of it. Splits 8:12, 7:51, 7:41, 7:46, 7:57, 7:50, 7:44, 7:38, 7:46, 7:51, 7:39, 7:21, 7:31, 7:39, 7:31 Oh, and a side note, Vanessa has been wearing big girl panties all day for 3 days now, with only once accident a day and that is when she really tries to make it but doesn't quite get to the bathroom on time. I'm so excited! I was wondering if she would ever potty train--she will be 3 at the end of April so it is time.
