6 miles out and back from home. 49:38 8:16 ave. I wanted to run a progression but I tapped out at mile 4. disappointing run for me. I wanted to get at or near my 5k pace, which is about 6:20. 6:59 was the fastest at mile 4 and it killed me. The temp was in the low 90's but I still think I should have been able to get close. I wish I could blame more on the heat but I'm reluctant to. After mile 4, I death marched the last two miles at 9:30 pace. 8:27 8:00 7:11 6:59 9:27 9:34. Time to put a little more into running. Last two months have pretty much been a diversion from running. It was a nice break but time to return. |
