I didn't know if I could do all 8 miles, but decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, I felt good, and managed the entire distance without too much difficulty. I was tired at the end, but not exhausted, and I could have kept going if I had to. I'm very pleased with this last week, I ran 33+ miles for the week, and this was my farthest run in 7 or 8 months. The weather was windy, but it was 70F and sunny. I had to dodge a lot of people around te park, but that's just inevitable in a large city on a nice summer day. Few times I had to stop due to people overcrowding sidewalk around traffic lights, but it was only for a few seconds.
Tomorrow is another masters track match. I think I'm doing 100m, medley relay (200m or 400m) and javelin.
Total time: 1:12:51 (8:59 pace). |
