Today I ran alone because Kimia and I went dancing up in Salt Lake last night so I didn't get to bed until after 2am. I was tired before we even got to Salt Lake a little after 10pm and by the time we got home I was having trouble staying awake no matter what I was doing. So we slept until a little past 10am this morning which felt really good. Anyhow, I started off running around 7:00 pace hitting 3 miles in 20:54 after that I didn't look at the watch for a while but I slowly sped up until I was going faster than 6:40 pace. I held this pace until about 13.8 when I did a mini tempo over the last 2.5 of the 5 mile tempo. I started out hitting 2:34 for the first 800 and then decided it was too fast and slowed progressively to 2:40, 2:45, 2:55, 2:57 for the last 4 800's. I then finished running home making it back for a total time of 1:58:33 for 18.2 miles. |
