My cold is in full swing now. Stuffy/runny nose and scratchy throat continue. I didn't feel all that great during the day, but once I started running I felt ok. Didn't want to focus on pace, and the fact that I forgot to reset Garmin to statute units, helped, because I can't relate well to pace per km. I started at 5:33 min/km, but then progressed to 5:26 by the end. It seemed that after an hour or so, I kind of shifted into another gear - breathing became easier, and pace faster. I did feel fatigue coming on in the last 3 miles, but it didn't affect my pace.
Total time: 1:55:58 (8:46 pace). |
