Traveled back home last night and woke up to a beautiful morning (68, sunny, light wind). Took advantage of having the day off and did my long run today. I felt pretty good getting started and ran easy. I am trying to get in a habit of starting my long runs off easy and then running faster the last half. Today I ran the first half at around 7:56 pace and ran the last half at 7:41 pace. It felt good to pick it up a little bit as I went along and then ran the last couple of miles around 7:25 pace. Over the next few weeks I am going to try to bump up my long run distance and get back to doing some 20 milers.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!
15 miles in 1:57:07 (7:48 avg)
PM: Walked a couple of miles with my wife then ran with my daughter. It was good to get the legs moving again after the long run this morning. |
