PM: Wow. So, yesterday I ran a 5k and "missed" my long run, and today I did a big no-no and "made up" my missed workout which is usually a recipe for disaster. Fortunately however, I exceeded my own expectations and ran quite well, negative splitting the whole way and finishing at a 6:45/mile average pace for the half marathon workout. I included my warmup in the workout since I figured I would be in the same boat in 2 weeks for my half marathon- I don't really have enough fitness to waste miles on a warmup unfortunately, so I'll kind of have to warmup on the go.
Either way, I'm pleasantly surprised with myself. 90 degrees, sun, and chaffing in the chest area suits me well apparently. I'm most happy about doing this workout as well as the 5k yesterday outside. I've only really done my fast stuff indoors, so this is a positive sign. I will be taking it easy tomorrow, that's for sure.
