Afternoon run today and it was the nicest day so far this year, I was in shorts and short sleeves, it was awesome!!! I ran out towards Payson Park and actually extended down to the park I haven't been this far since my injury so it was way cool to finally get there! The pace was upbeat and a little faster than I should have ran it but I just went with it. My average pace was 8:14 with a couple of sub 8 minute miles in there and I wasn't trying to hard either, total time was 58:56 with my HR average at 151. My pace was pretty smooth and I felt like the pace was pretty even and I didn't seem to be straining to hard to hold the pace, so a nice way to start out the week. I finished up with some upper body weight training and then some push-ups, no elliptical as I am short on time and I went the extra mileage anyway so I'm calling it good for today! See ya tomorrow.
