Lunch - ran outside today, no GPS, just a watch. I felt so good today that this ended up being a not-so-good thing, as I ran faster than I realized. 5.1 miles on Lunch Run 2, beautiful day, probably low-60's and sunny, slightly windy but not bad at all. Felt good throughout the entire run, very relaxed, very controlled. Average pace was about 7:15/mile. Oops - I was shooting more for 7:30-7:40. I felt a little bit of general soreness in my shins today, but nothing localized - probably about time to get a new pair of shoes. My Tangent 3's have around 300 miles on them, and I was told they wouldn't last as long as a regular stability shoe.
PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel, average pace of 10:35/mile. He took off in the beginning and was running around 9:00 pace, then when I told him how fast he was running (bad move maybe?) he immediately slowed down. Next time I won't tell him if he is running too fast . . . :) |
