Pace: 9:35

Conditions:

  • 70°
  • 79% humidity
  • Misting rain began around mile 7

Running Goal for the Day:

  • Just see what my body is able to do following my disastorous marathon

Observations:

  • Stepping out for the first time in a week brought to my mind a quote from the Virginia Woolf classic: "The beauty of the world... has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder." This pretty much summed up how I felt about my first few miles: overjoyed and petrified.

Pace: 9:38

Conditions:

  • 44° (feels like 40°)
  • Winds NNW 8 mph
  • Short duration of light rainfall

Observations:

  • I am in a mental running slump
  • I really need to follow my training schedule of slow runs which means that I run 10:00 miles or above on my longer runs. i am not seeing any improvement. I attribute that to being physically worn-out. I never truly rest my body.
