20 mile morning club run. We did the same run as last week...Not ideal, but this worked better for everyone. To start with when I got to the running store to meet the guys I realized that I had left my Garmin home so... I didn't know for sure where I was the whole run. From what I can gather today should have been just about as fast as last week or at least within two min's. We started out a lot faster for the first 6-7 miles than last week. Steve and Dustin were running with me at that point and from what they said our splits were faster. Then I started to ease into marathon pace just like last week between miles 8-10. For the final 10 miles I know I wasn't as fast as last week (5:20) pace but felt like I was much faster than 5:40 pace. I pushed against a headwind most of the run and by then end it started to become very frustrating. Today would have been a bad day to have the STGM. PR's would have been hard to come by with the wind. So everyone pray it's not windy in three weeks. I was totally ready to be done at the end and unlike last week and couldn't have kept the pace much longer. Glad that I got a good workout in but it hurt today, and I'm ready for a day off. |
