Woke up at 4:00am. At 4:30 it started raining hard. Luckily it stopped before I walked to the bus. Temperature is good, humidity seems a bit high.
My goal today is a sub-3:20 which is a Boston qualifier. It would also be my best time in 3 years.
First couple of miles went well. Kept average pace around 7:10. Pace slipped to 7:20 by mile 8. My goal was to hit the halfway point around 1:35 to 1:37. I came in just under 1:35 so all is well.
Miles 14-17 felt very strong. Kept pace around 7:20. Miles 18-21 were horrible. Started getting a cramp right under my ribcage and couldn't shake it for 3 miles. My pace stunk until mile 22.
Last 4 miles were better. I finished under my goal time so I was pleased for now. | | Add Comment |
