I had a fever last night as a result of the cold that I have been fighting so my wife wouldn't let me run this morning until my fever had broken, and that didn't happen until 11:00 am while I was at work... After lunch I came home and took a nap and then put on my gear and headed out, boy was it a nice warm day and I over dressed for the first time this year. I decided I would take it a mile at a time just to see how I do, as I got into the run I felt pretty good and so I just went along enjoying the scenery. I ended up doing 6 miles and then when I got home my son wanted to go a couple of miles, he is getting ready for soccer, so I went a couple more with him. Boy I wish I was 30 years younger because he just toyed with me for the first mile and a half and then he left me in the dust and I thought I was doing pretty good clipping a long at about a 7:40 pace and being sick and yada yada yada. But then I realized there is no substitute for youth and when I was his age I couldn't even brake a 9 minute mile so I patted my self on the back and then took another nap!
My splits went as follows; 8:09(145), 8:21(151), 8:25(150), 8:15(154), 8:23(161), 8:05(163), 7:41(158), 7:39(160). Average pace was 8:07 with my heart rate average at 155 total time was 1:05:20.
I felt really good about some of these splits even though they are not quite where I was before I got injured but they are coming down. And then you add in that I have been sick and that makes it even closer to where I want to be! I don't know how I will recovery for tomorrow mornings run but I will deal with that when it gets here...
See ya tomorrow.
