Took a nice long progressive outside run with jtshad today. The temperature was in the high 20's with little wind and a light cloud cover. We planned to run at around 8:30 for 5 miles, then up to 8:15 for 5 and the last 5 at an 8 minute pace. Jt was very good about letting me set the pace and we were a little faster for the entire run, finishing with an average speed of just under 8 minute miles. This is my longest run so far and the first time for drinking water and eating GU. That really seemed to help as I felt pretty decent at the end. However, as I write this my legs are feeling the distance a bit. Overall an excellent run. Thanks Jeff! |
