7.5 miles in 55:30, 7:24/mi, HR 155. Feeling much better today. Big weather shift brought clouds, rain, thunderstorms and cooler temps (60F). I'll take it over the hot and sunny days for running. Still a bit humid. Body just felt like pushing the pace a bit, so even though I might pay for it tomorrow, I let myself go. Figured I'd be worn out by the top of the hill but still felt good so the return was pretty quick too....right around MP but on a downhill so the average pace was about right....35 seconds or so off MP. I really need to get better at just recognizing bad days (like Saturday) for what they are...aberrations. Got some new shoes yesterday too (a pair of trainers - Asics 2130s and my very first pair of racing shoes - Brooks ST3 Racers). My feet and knees thanked me today. Asics 2130 Blue - 7.5 miles. 4 miles in 32:45, 8:11/mi, HR 139. Took it nice and easy in the mist and light rain. 62F. Asics 2130 Blue - 11.5 miles. |
