Exceedingly slow, easy run.

7:07 am, 58° F, 65% humidity, winds calm, partly cloudy.

I should call this a recovery run. I was really slow the whole time, but particularly the first mile. I'm not sure I've ever run a mile slower than 11:00 before, but I did it this morning. I really could not get my legs moving until after that first mile. I'm still sluggish from yesterday's run, I guess. But at least I got out and did it. And I'm not nearly as sweaty as I was at the end of my run yesterday. I wonder if I can pull off 11 miles with the last 20 minutes hard tomorrow. I'm going to have to do it by myself. I can't find anyone to run with me.

I stayed up kind of late last night and watched Temple Grandin. That was a really good movie.

AP: 10:23. Splits: 11:04, 10:15, 10:06, 10:07.

Maybe you felt a little sluggish today because your total miles for the one week period that ended (WT) yesterday was 40.93. Depending on what you run tomorrow, you could top that - so it's good you got a very slow and easy run in today - nice job.

You're amazing! You've increased your mileage so much since you started back, and you're like the energizer bunny, just keep going & going.

Good luck on your 20 minutes of speed tomorrow.

Good luck with those last 20 minutes after an 11 mile run tomorrow. Lots of miles in this week, you are such a dedicated runner. Sorry you have to run by yourself. If make it to Denver sometime, I'll come run with you.

I look forward to hearing how your long run went IN PERSON! I'm excited!
