Same run as Tuesday with Wayne, at about the same pace, 9:27/mi. These are supposed to be easy days for me, but with Wayne being faster than me at this point, I feel bad slowing him down so I push at a pretty good effort. I wish the effort was producing a better pace than 9:27/mi for 6.2 miles, but only a month ago it was only 11:26/mi for 3.5 miles. I feel good about going 75% farther at a pace 2 minutes per mile faster. If I improve that much in the next month I'll be going 7:27/mi for nearly 11 miles. That would be great...it's not very likely...but it would be great. I'm content with just being able to run again, and seeing pretty steady improvement while feeling stronger. |
