Long run in Clearwater this morning, 8 bridges total with Lee, Lyle, Mark, and a couple of others. Got there early so I ran 2 miles, then Lee came, and we did about 5 more, then we met up with the group for 2 sets of 8 milers. I didn't care much for the breaks, so I tried to run through them. I always wonder if all the short breaks of stopping negatively affects endurance- I can't imagine it does, but my opinion is very malleable on that point. Pace was generally around 8:00 minutes per mile for the first set and then 7:00-7:30 per mile for the second set, and Mark and I dropped the second to last mile to around 6:50 over the final bridge which was fun. Somehow, the Florida weather is comfortable again, if only for the week. I'm not complaining. |
