Ran 1.5 miles with Sam and Sparky at a slow pace, then another 0.5 with Joseph. After Lybi did her walking, I went out for another 5 miles, felt very good. Didn't check the Garmin to see how fast I was going, although my speed constantly increased throughout the run. I ended the run at a pretty good clip. Total time for the 5 miler was 35:46, average pace of 7:09/mile. Sasha and I talked last Friday about the need to go easy the first day after a break, but right now I am having a hard time with that - my legs feel so fresh and spunky that it is hard to hold back, even when I start nice and steady. I had started my run last night at about 7:45 pace, and just slowly increased the pace. Maybe if I had looked at the Garmin I could have held back. Oh well - next time. |
