Ran by myself this morning. Picked another run from my upcoming marathon training program. Today's run was one of the temp runs, much more attainable than the last track workout I tried. I did two miles easy, which ended up being a about 8:10 each, then the goal was two miles at 6:54 - this turned into 6:49 and 6:51. I wanted to hit each mile at 6:54 but I was afraid of coming in too slow so I did each one slightly faster than goal. Last two miles were supposed to be easy. The fifth mile was 7:35 - a little too fast for easy but it felt much easier compared to the previous two miles, then the final mile was just over 8:00. Average pace was 7:34. This run was challenging but not all out, felt pretty good when finished, then did about 20 minutes worth of lower body weights. The weather was about the same as yesterday, about 76° and humid but it didn't seem as bad for running so maybe the humidity was down slightly today.
I didn't get much sleep last night because my older dog kept on waking me up to go out, she does this from time to time. She's very persistent when she does this. Then I kept on waking up also. My wife woke up a few times. No one was in a great mood this morning.
