I have not run since Labor Day (9/3/12).

I had registered to run the Gulf Beach Half Marathon on Saturday the 15th of September.  I overslept and did not make it to the start line on time. 

So this is the longest period of time I had gone without running – an entire two weeks.

But, the splits were surprisingly good today.  I had planned on running at Easy pace of 8:30-9:30/mile.  Mile 2 and 3 splits are 8:08/mile pace!  I got the 3.1 miles done at 8:17/mile.

I am wondering if the lack of heat is a factor.  At any rate, fitness does not seem to be too compromised with the long break.

Time 25:45 =  25.75 minutes.  3716 steps during the run.  3716/25.75=144 steps per minute.  This is 72 Right Steps per minute.  Need to work toward quicker turnover.  I was going for quicker turnover today…still not there.  I am looking for 90 Right steps per minute.

Hi Pre:

Good to see you running again, I was a bit concerned but you seem okay.

The cooler temperatures are a big plus, no doubt about it. For me anything about 75F adds 30-60 seconds to my long run pace.
