So I just finished typing up this dissertation on my run today and it didn't save. So now I post the pissy shortened version. 70 degrees at 12:30pm today. Breezy but humid with periodic bursts of light rain. Did 19.45 today. First 15.45 below M-race-pace and 4 mile cool down. The first 7 miles were at about race pace. The next 3 were about 10 seconds/mile faster and the final 5.5ish were about 5 seconds/mile faster. The full 15.45 was in 1:45:26 (6:49s). I stopped for Gu and water for 4 minutes at mile 7 and then stopped for 3 minutes for water at mile 10. Followed all this up with 4 at recovery pace (8:17s).
I believe today's run was a strong one that was directly influenced by Monday's workout. I'll try to rest up most of the rest of the week, but continue to get in easy miles.
Bought another pair of Asics Cumulus yesterday and ran in them today. I love those shoes. I don't know why I even considered the Nike Structure. I'm sure its a fine shoe, but not a shoe designed for me. Was beginning to have some trouble with the pronate support and the stiffness of the midsole, as such, I've retired them and activated another pair of Cumulus. |
