This morning was 11 deg. and calm. I ran 8 miles. The first 4.5 M starting at 7:50 pace working down to 7:20 pace. Then the last 3.5 in 6:58, 6:44, 6:46, and the last 1/2 at 6:19 pace. Overall pace for 8 M was 7:14. My hip felt good again today. I think the extra rest really helped and also not running any more than 8 M at a time. It was usually beyond 8 miles it was getting the worst. |
