Slow to fast

I ran around a lake in a suburb of Boston this morning.  The temperature was just below freezing; the coldest run of fall so far.  I forgot my gloves and used an extra pair of socks which worked quite well.  My pace was 7:57.  I was supposed to run yesterday but was traveling and couldn't find a convenient time to go out.  I have to make up the mileage a little later.

My week has really gotten messed up. I haven't done my workout yet because I've been traveling and haven't had much time. Now it's too late. I probably shouldn't do a workout before a long weekend run.

A pleasant 5 miles this morning.  But my week mileage is going to come up short since I missed my workout.  Planning on 14 mi tomorrow morning with a 2 mi fast finish.

Hardly anyone was on the Porter Rockwell Trail this morning.  I think there were a lot of races this morning.  I felt good and was very consistent for the first 12 miles (8:15 pace).  I sped it up for the last 2 miles and did 6:50 and 6:52.  The last mile had a gradual incline and so I had to push a little harder to keep the same pace.
