Long run today. I took the first mile as a very wasy warm-up run walk. Then the next 8 miles I ran at a comfortable pace (8:07). At mile 9 a head wind hit and that played with my head for sure!! I did the next 5.1 miles at an 8:50 pace. The half marathon pace averaged out to 8:24, which is better than my marathon goal pace of 8:35. With all the walks and breaks and finishing strong the last 2 miles (8:36), my total run ended up being a 8:46 pace.
One lesson learned today; don't swim a mile the night before you do a long run. But, this was good training if I decide to do an Ironman in 2 years... : D
This evening Cathy and I went for a 10 mile bike ride. I pulled the kid trailer with joseph & ammon on board. Nice evening ride. |
