3pm, 60 degrees, mostly calm and sunny. Planned on a 15.6 mile run today at a fairly easy, but steady pace. It actually ended up being a somewhat agressive progressive run. And at 1:22:00 I started to think I messed up the mileage, so I decided on an alternate route back from there. First 5.9 in 43:29 (7:22s). Next 5.6 in 38:48 (6:56s) for an 11.5 mile run of 1:22:17 (7:09s). My guess is that my progressive run started out in the 7:45 range and hit a peak in the 6:15-6:20 range coming down a long hill the last mile. At this point, the route I had planned seemed to be more than 4 miles, but now that I think about it, it was probably right. At any rate, I modified my run just a touch and ended up shaving about .7 off the run or so. So I finished with a 3.4 mile cool down for a 14.9 mile run. |
