5 enjoyable miles this morning. I thought it was going to be cold and windy but it was warm and breezy instead. In fact, it was warmer than it has been in a long time at 5am, 49 degrees. Weird. I don't remember the average for the first half because I reset and set a slow pace alert. I've never run with one before. I tried to set a fast alert too but they have to be like 90 seconds apart. Oh well. Anyway, I set the slow pace for a fairly relaxing 8:45. I tried to run relaxed but it definitely didn't allow me to be complacent. I don't quite get it though. With a fair number of beeps reminding me that I needed to speed up my average pace was 8:07, no where near 8:45. I was trying to hit 8:30 but the beeping wouldn't let me. |
