The temperature was in the 40's this morning prior to the pending storm and colder temperatures, so I decided to run this morning instead of at lunchtime. There was a pretty good wind that cooled things down, but it wasn't too bad. I was hoping at least Larry would show up at 5:45am, but I ended up running alone. My legs felt very tired. That probably has something to do with the extra miles and faster pace the past couple of days. Today I just wanted to put in some easy miles while trying to maintain a decent pace and good form. I averaged 8:38/mi for the 5.3 miles. The half mile paces were 9:14, 9:00, 8:52, 9:15, 9:02, 8:46, 8:32, 8:01, 7:54, 7:41. I felt like I maintained a steady effort throughout. The times show that it took a while, but I gradually loosened up and was able to gradually pick up the pace. |
