Again another busy weekend that forced the long run to mid week. We started at about 5:30 with temps in the low 80's but humidity at 67% - wow! What a difference this made. We ran between my house and Annette's four times and added on a little at the last time we were out by her house. This gave us easy access to water and bathrooms and since the last time we did 16, I had to make three POP stops. Not today! I felt great the entire run. I kept the first half pretty slow and then began working into a progression run with the last 3 miles fast. The goal was to be MP, but I have such a hard time pacing, they ended up being too fast. Glad to have it done! The last two weeks were pretty crappy, so I am enjoying this week and feeling much better.
Splits: 9:46, 9:24, 9:22, 9:12, 9:12, 9:10, 9:11, 8:51, 8:41, 8:32, 8:36, 8:23, 8:21, 7:41, 7:32, 7:38 Avg Pace: 8:43 3 easy, easy miles on the treadmill at lunch. I was unsure how I would feel and had decided that if I didn't feel great, I could walk. Ended up feeling really well. Yoga at the Y to finish off the day. Best class I have been to for a long time.
