Another easy run which actually felt easy. I hope this trend continues. I woke up at 6:00, seemed to take forever to get out of the house, then made it to the Y. 10 minutes on stationary bike, 3 minutes on rower, then a few minutes on the treadmill speeding up and slowing down. It rained heavily last night so it was foggy out this morning with a warmish temp of 70°. First mile felt pretty good, second mile was good also but was not as fast as yesterday. Splits were pretty good and the run seemed to go by pretty quickly. Splits: 8:44, 8:24, 8:03, 7:55, 7:47, 7:33, 7:35, 7:31, 0.19@8:38 Average pace: 7:57 Brooks I carried powerade in my fuel belt and drank that while I ran. This brought back memories of the Disney marathon. Powerade claims as one of its benefits that it does not taste too sweet so you won't want to water it down. But I like sweeter drinks when I'm running. I remember running during the Disney marathon wondering if they were serving us a sugar free drink! I know better know but it just goes to show how important it is to practice with your race drink before the race so there aren't any surprises. Looks like Jacksonville will be serving powerade also. Went back inside and did some cool down work on the treadmill, about 5 or 6 minutes or so. Headed home and then volunteered to bike the kids to school since it feels like I have been seeing them less due to work.
