Today's splits ---
11:32
12:07
12:19 (0.96 mi)
-------------------
2.96 mi -- 11:59 avg pace -- 355 cal
I was aiming for a consistent pace around the 12:00/mi mark to recover from the hard run yesterday. Overall I didn't do too bad but I was terribly inconsistent during the miles. My legs want to run a faster pace while at the same time complaining about how tired they are after yesterday's effort. I guess that is one of the tricks one learns from consistent training: how to control your pace for the workout's goals. I had intended to go a full 3.1 mi but reached the house at 2.96 mi and decided not to be a slave to the Garmin.
Temps were 69-71 during the run which are definitely acceptable. Killing me though has been our unusually calm winds. Today they were only blowing about 5mph at their strongest. When I turned around with my back to the wind for the leg towards home it felt like my body temp went up 5 degrees.
