Some days I feel like superman, some days I feel like a spud with running shoes. Today was the latter. I was running slow, my pulse was slow, but I was breathing hard. I don't get it. I didn't feel like I was having any asthma issues. I think part of my problem was I was too cold. It wasn't so cold (about 32) when I left but it felt like an arctic express was blowing down City Creek Canyon as I was running up. I didn't warm up to a comfortable point til about mile 10 or 11. I should have dressed warmer.... Oh well. This is not a complain, just an observation.
Ave. pace = 9:16 / 142bpm This is slow but perhaps not quite as slow as it seems considering the incline from my house up City Creek (or I'm just kidding myself). My slowest mile was 11:26, fastest was 7:23. |
