Another beautiful morning. I did 5 easy miles again, 3 seconds faster than yesterday. I ran the first half slower than yesterday but picked up the pace slightly to finish the second half 30 seconds faster than the first. Average pace was 9:54, and average heart rate was 152 (love my new Garmin!). I felt really good, except for my blisters! I put Vaseline on my toes (thanks, Chad and Sasha, for the suggestions), but I'm going to need something more for my instep (weird place to get blisters!).
Tomorrow I'm meeting friends at the track. My husband is going to come along and do a max heart rate test. I told them I'm running SLOW, so the plan is to not get caught up in their speed, but maybe just do one mile at a faster pace.
I went to bed at 9:00 last night! But, I didn't really get to sleep until around 10:00. |
