There's nothing like a dose of reality to bring me back to earth. I measured out a couple miles on the river trail with a wheel and discovered that my easy pace is a lot easier than I thought. Like 20 seconds slower. So the 10 mile runs I've been doing out here are like 9.6 miles. At least, assuming I maintained the same pace once I reached the end of my 2-mile course. So anyway, 13 miles today... felt like it took forever. Focused on maintaining 7:00 pace out so that I could get an idea where my mile markers are and then returned in about 7:15 pace. Felt like a long time on my feet. |
