Did my long run today since I wasn't able to get it in on Saturday. I got up early (before hub left to work) and did nine miles. I drove to the track and started from there. I did a loop of 5 miles and then finished the last four miles on the track. I picked up the pace for the last four miles, getting faster with each mile. This was a super windy run-felt like I was going to get blown off the track. Anyway, my mile splits were 8:19, 7:58, 8:11, 7:39, 7:52, (track miles) 7:18, 7:08, 6:59, 6:39. I felt really good-the miles I did on the track felt good too. I look forward to the 10K I am hopefully doing on Saturday. Avg pace for the whole 9 miles was 7:34, average pace for the last four tempo miles was 7:01. |
