My string of nice morning came to an end. It was still not bad around 48 but very windy. I felt good this morning but was a little sore from a lot of yard work the last few days. After a mile or so I felt much better and settled into a nice easy pace. I felt good throughout and picked up the pace the last 3 miles. This turned out to be a good solid week for me. It is the first full week of running that I have had in about 2 months. Not good for my race next week but just have to make the best of it. I will do another tempo workout this week to try to figure out what pace to shoot for in the half. This is the first time that I have ran a race this long without having a few shorter races to judge my fitness level. So I will probably just have to go by feel and adjust accordingly. 1:38:41 |
