4:45pm, 70 degrees and quite windy. First 2.8 miles in 20:42 (7:23s). Ran into Karen (a woman who was running along the same route as I was and training for a 1/2M) and did 1.45 with her. I stopped the watch during this segment, but I think we were probably running 8:00s-8:15s. Next 5.8 in 40:49 (7:02s). Next 2 miles clocked in at 6:28 and 6:27 before the final cool down. I honestly did not think I was moving this fast tonight. Obviously I was crusing right along, but it felt comfortable for most of the run. The 7:00s felt like just a moderate pace, certainly nothing approaching M-pace. This is a good thing I suppose. Total run tonight was 13 miles on the nose. |
