Ran later in the day than normal today. Had to slow myself down a bit in the early miles. Weirdest thing: My left calf wanted to cramp up, but I wasn't feeling fatigued and I wasn't cramping anywhere else. Had some gatorade with me and that seemed to head off a full cramp. So I finished the run. Last four miles were no more than eight minutes per mile. Overall average pace was 8:13 including a few pauses at intersections. Quite happy with this run, although I want to make sure I can run fewer and faster as well. |
