For some reason I slipped my IPod in my pocket before going to pick up Beth. When I run with a partner I don't use it. But when she opened her door I could see that I would be using it today. She wasn't going to be able to join me again. I decided that since I was alone I would try a 5K and make sure there were only 10s in front of each mile and no 11s. I did it. The total time was 32:52. (10:47,10:45,10:21, .58) I was hoping that for the effort I had put in that the time would have been a little less. It felt like a race, especially toward the end. I wouldn't have been able to keep that pace if I would have been continuing on. However, I feel good now. Sometimes when I push it hard, a headache starts right in. Now that I've rested for a bit I feel like I could get back out and go some more. I am loving these beautiful autumn mornings we are enjoying here in Utah! I can say that because the sun is starting to shine when I get out. Not sure I would enjoy it as much in the dark and colder earlier hours as so many of you do! |
