This morning started off not so well. I could not sleep...didn't feel good. Almost rolled over and went back to sleep. I was dropped of at the top of Veyo hill. I planned on running a very conservative run this morning, 8:30 pace. Started out 8:19/ 9:37/ 8:48/ 8:25/ 8:01/ 7:52. Stopped and had a drink and a roctain. fixed my insole and off I go down from Diamond Valley. Kept everything calm and controlled. I never really looked at my Garmin until I was at the park. I ended up with an average pace of 7:58. The final 13 miles were at 7:40 pace. I fueled with Roctain at each 6 miles and one to start. I had an extra one that I ate half of with 3 miles to go. With 2 to go a guy passed me as I was taking a walk break......motivation. I decided to try and stay with him. I did and about a mile to go I passed him and ended out finishing strong. Such a great morning, perfect temps. Time to start bringing the mileage down. I just want to maintain the fitness level I have right now. Will hold back on running mileage and keep the bike mileage up. Save the feet for the Marathon!
