Morning run, cloudy, very windy, temp 50'
Puchasing a used car for my teenage drive took all my free time yesterday along with throwing a birthday party for my 14 year old daughter so I didn't run.
However, today I went out planning on doing 8 miles at however I felt. I always hope I feel good on Saturdays so I can run a bit harder knowing that I won't be running on Sunday. Today I felt good from the start. Knowing I felt good I decided to see if I could run an average of just under 7 minute miles. The 1st 4 miles was slightly uphill and I average about 7:20 miles and on the way back I was running into the wind the 1st 2 miles and I averaged about 6:45's, at that point I was doubting I would get my under 7 mintue miles but the last 2 miles I didn't have to fight the wind so I was able to get my goal.
Time 56:22, Mile Avg. - 6:58 |
