I ran 3 miles this morning while waiting at the dmv to renew my car registration. I ran 3 more miles later on after I got home, and I pushed the pace for most of it, making it home in 17:40 after reaching the halfway mark in 9:50. I was happy with how it felt to run hard, as my legs didn't feel too bad, and for the most part I felt smooth. The breathing was not as good as it could have been, but it could have been worse, so I am not unhappy about that. It helped to have a tailwind and net downhill for the last 1.5 miles, but nonetheless I was a little surprised and impressed with how fast I was able to run considering how out of shape I still am. |
