lovely Leslie watched the boys and I ran on the ghetto canal gravel road by her house. Did 10 1:21:50, abt a 7:40 pace. Although I went on this run as a "recovery run" it ended up being a big motivation boost. It's been a while since I've done a flat run on road and I've been feeling really slow lately-- just discouraged because what I used to be able to run on a long run I can't hit on a tempo. So it was nice to put myself on a road and push a little... oh yah, I can hit a pace. oh good. felt creaky, walked all of the skywalk, etc but all in all good. |
