AM- hot and humid today. Expecting big storms later, but the heat is tough right now cuz its 20-25 degrees above normal for this time of year. Just 2 weeks ago, i was running in tights and hats and gloves. 7 miles in 51:11, 7:19 avg pace. weights after.
PM- an unprecedented and unplanned 2nd run this evening. Since I have been struggling with my long runs as of late i decided to instead do two runs. I had even done weights and eaten a pizza after my first run. Plus, i had just topped off an iced coffee and a pb & j sandwich, and yet the thought hit me to go run again. The results were phenomenal, I absolutely killed it and i felt tremendous..which was surprising given 7 previous miles plus weights earlier. Here were my splits for the 9 mile nightcap: 1- 6:55.8 2- 6:34.4 3- 6:48.3 (20:18, 6:46 avg pace) 4- 6:40.6 5- 6:52.7 6- 6:47.4 (40:39, 6:46 avg pace) 7- 6:58.4 8- 6:41.7 9- 6:15.5
TOTAL-- 1:00:34, 6:44 avg pace Just an incredible run, felt like i was flowing, and ripped off the 6:15 at the end like it was nothing. 16 miles total on the day.
