AM Total run time 1:37:57 I was hoping for 1:03, but my legs felt super heavy after running all week. My first 3 miles were right around 6:50 with a little headwind, and I was feeling sluggish. I was hoping after the turn around(the course was an out and back) I would be able to pick up the pace, but it didn't happen. My legs just felt stiffer, and so my pace suffered. I'm a little bummed about missing my time, but i wasn't willing to push super hard since this is the highest mileage day I've had since last fall. I wanted to give a solid effort on fatigued legs to help my endurance for the SLC half in April, and I feel like that goal was accomplished. What I learned from today: 1) I need to build my long runs to increase endurance. 2) I'm tapering down next week to let my legs rebuild. 3) After this taper week, I am gong to incorporate some race pace running.
