1:08:11. Ok, I am a ditz. My legs felt good at the beginning of the run, in part because I felt like I was running with pillows on my feet - I wore my Mizuno Elixir's (which while not a cushion shoe compared with the Nike Free's I wore on my PM run and the Asics DS Trainers I wore in the AM are cushy indeed). So ... I am running along with a soft and fluffy ride, thinking about a grant I am writing -- I am talking to the program officer at NIH on Monday so I need to get a good summary written today. I really was making a lot of progress while I was running. Then I turned around and realized that I my legs were starting to get a little tired -- and I thought, "wow, I really don't feel like running for 75 mins today" -- then I realized, I actually am not supposed to run 75 mins today - I was supposed to run 60-65 mins (I know 10 mins is not that big of a deal, but I usually am pretty good about following directions in these things - that is why I have a coach, so I don't have to think about it ;-) ). Anyway, I was able to modify the run so I was on schedule, but it was just so funny - I usually don't disassociate from my running (meaning when I am running I am thinking about the run) -- but the few times I do, I either get lost or forget what I am supposed to be doing!!
I am pretty sure I ran much faster than 7:00 pace yesterday - I know what 7:00 feels like the next day - the way I felt today indicated was much faster than that, it will be interesting to get back on the track in a week and see where things are ...
