Kevin and I ran the longer Lindon loop this morning. I started on an antibiotic on Saturday to hopefully clear up the respiratory issues that have been plaguing me for the last two weeks. I felt like my breathing was still labored this morning, but then I realized that we were running 8:30 pace instead of the 9:00-10:00 pace I've been running. Just before we turned back south we realized we'd had a tail wind for the first half of the run. With the headwind and some uphill stretches on the return trip our pace slowed...or I should say my pace slowed and Kevin slowed to stay with me. We ended up averaging 9:05/mi, which is about as fast as I've been able to run these days, but we ran 6.2 miles instead of the 4.5-ish I've been doing lately, so I view it as an improvement. |
