Ran 8.0 miles today at easy pace (7:00 min mile). Of course, I forgot about the temp. at mid-day and ran at 3:00 pm. It was nearly 90 degrees (F) and I ate lunch about an hour before, so the run did not feel so good. I don't know what comes over me sometimes, but I make some poor decisions when choosing a time to run. In hot weather, after eating lunch is definitely one such example. I completed the run on pace, but it felt much more forced than it should have. |
