6 miles this morning along the banks. I told myself pre run that I would take it easy today, but my competitive side came out twice when people passed me today. the first time I guy passed me at around mile 1.5. i passed him and decided to run 1 mile at MP to see how my legs felt. they held up fine. the second time, a lady pushing a stroller sped up to pass me after i passed her ging at an 8 min pace around mile 5. dont know why i let this get to me, i mean good for her to be able to run sub 8 min pace while pushing a young baby wth you, right? regardless, this was probably ill advised, but I decided to run a .5 mile interval at 6 min pace. i was moving along but my lungs were feeling it after. finished up with a .5 mile cool down. avg total pace was 7:40. |
