1:47:25 (57:35/49:50), last 4 miles were 8:02, 7:51 and 7:24 average for the last 2 miles (I missed a mile marker). Surprisingly I really felt like crap most of this run. I think a combination of the travel, two days in a row of overshooting my mileage (because of cab problems and underestimating how far things were), and the last couple months of work stress have really started to wear on me. I am planning on really focusing on taking it easy next week, trying to lower my stress levels (I am not sure exactly how I am going to do this, since I am under a lot of pressure right now -- but maybe just mentally easing up without actually easing up ;-) ) and get ready for the semester to start. Also -- I am planning out my new racing schedule this week, so my training should be getting interesting soon -- I am hoping that the 101F days stay around (versus the 113F they have been) -- although I really really can't wait until October when it will be back to normal weather again. Happy rest of the weekend bloggers!! (126.8) |
