I decided to make today a speed day, have'nt felt like pushing very hard sense my 10k race in march. I actually did feel pretty good today. My first mile was a warm-up with a 9:19 pace, mile 2, was an 8:13 pace, mile 3 was a recovery mile of 9:26, mile 4 my fastest mile was 7:52. Mile 5 was another recovery mile of 9:28, and mile 6 was 8:38, mile 7, 9:21 and the last mile, mile 8 was 8:15. I think this is my fastest 8 miler. My total time today was 1:11:13 with an average pace of 8:48. I also did some core strength training and about 200 crunches. Tomorrow will be a recovery run.
May God bless the families of the V.T. shootings. So tragic. |
