This morning when I woke up I had a feeling of complete exhaustion, almost as if something was wrong with me. But, I went ahead and hoped that it was something I could shake off once I got moving. I got out the door and made it to they Y for a warm up on the machines inside. I did a few minutes on the rowing machine for something different and then 10 minutes on the stationary bike to keep my knee on track. I went outside and realized I had overdressed slightly - it was 60° but I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, but I guess it wasn't too warm for that. My goal again this morning was to stick with easy miles, get through the warm up miles and then not speed up to "marathon pace" but hold back a little bit. I was also thinking about doing at least 8 miles, but when I got to 7 miles it felt like a good day to do 9. My splits were: 8:31, 8:30, 8:34, 8:03, 7:54, 7:51, 7:52, 7:53, 7:52, and 0.13 @8:43 Average pace: 8:07 The splits were even closer together than yesterday. Tomorrow I'm going to add in some tempo. Brooks glycerin.
