long run Saturdays are soooooooooooo much fun, I took the pace very easy this morning my legs are still not back and I don't want to chance an injury. I ran the first 8 miles on my own and averaged about an 8:40 pace and then I hooked up with my Brother Curtis and we ran about 5 miles together at a slower pace, which was just fine with me. For the most part I felt pretty good I kind of lost it alittle towards the end but I think that was mostly due to the heat, it was one hot morning. Total time was 2:37:12 and my average pace was 9:17 and my heart rate was averaged at 133, not a real fast pace but that was not my intention, I am trying to increase my arobic base and I feel my pace is going to be there for SGM. In all my races I have averaged a 7:15 to 7:30 pace and I haven't done alot of speed work, so this incouraging. I will get another chance to test my fitness on Tuesday with the Speedy Spaniard 10K so hopfully this trend will continue.
