Ran 6 miles this morning. Got out the door a little late, and decided that it might be time to change to two runs per day, ratherthan trying to get in all the miles at one time. I think I would still prefer to get in the bulk of the miles in the morning, due to the cooler weather, and am still undecided about the idea, but right now I am thinking that I may do around 5-6 miles in the morning, and then 2-3 miles in the evening. We will have to see how that works out. I will definitely be putting in a couple miles this evening to get in at least 8 miles for the day. Total time this morning was 48:25, average pace of 8:04/mile. The run felt good, it seemed to be a tad cooler this morning - certainly felt less sticky than yesterday. I did get a fairly good amount of sleep as well - got to bed by 10:00. I would still like to get to bed a bit earlier - 9:30 is a good goal for me, I think.
PM - ran an additional 2.05 miles this evening - temperature was 108 degrees, took it easy. Body did not get overheated, because it was only 2 miles, and on the way back, I was grateful for a headwind, even thought it felt hot. Total time for the 2.05 miles was 17:19, average pace of 8:27/mile. Believe it or not, that felt like it was easy. The biggest indication it was really hot outside was when I came back in and started sweating like a pig. |
