Raleigh, NC: After 18 years at the same company, I started a new job today at a new company. I traveled down early for orientation and was able to get a few miles in during the lunch break.
Warmer (72) and humid this morning. Felt pretty good after not running yesterday. I was still in the orientation class and then traveled back late last night. Good to be able to get back out this morning.
Missed yesterday because I left real early for a customer meeting and got back late last night. Felt good today and ran 5 x 800 m with 400 recovery. Ran these on the road so was just watching the Garmin as I went. Tried to keep them around 6:40 pace. They felt good but was feeling the effort on the last one.
Got out real early this morning to beat the heat. It was not too bad (68) but humid. I felt pretty good on the run. I started out easy (around 8:40) then picked it up as I went along and finished the last 6 miles around 8:00. Good run and glad to get in a longer run. I am starting to feel the pressure that I need to get more mileage in to be ready for the marathon in Nov.
