Night run, 1st time I ran with MP3 player that Kelly and the girls got me for Fathers Day. I haven't run with headphones in over 20 years. Back then it was a Sony cassette walkman that when you ran fast the music would drag or drop out. We're all digital now, light weight and no moving parts. I found myself running to the beat many times, I was listening to They Might Be Giants, Here Come the ABC's (not just for kids). My plan was to run an easy even paced run, but it turned into a progression run, splits 8:11, 7:23, 7:00, 7:00. I made a point to not look at my Garmin along the run and was surprised at the pace of the last two miles, they felt effortless.
No race in local area tomorrow so a track workout is planned. |
