Well, this morning I was dragging. I ran a little faster than normal last night, waited less than 12 hours, and ran again. I don't think my body is used to running every 12 hours. It's funny that I can do 12 miles at a time on the weekends, but not as two separate runs during the week.
Anyway, it was COLD out this morning! It was still really dark when we started, and after hearing all the scary stories on the blog last night, I was a little creeped out. So I made my husband run the same route as me, even though he went ahead in front!
Total time was 56:15, average pace 10:03. My splits were 10:19, 9:54, 10:04, 10:02, 10:08, 9:43 pace for the last .6 mile. I haven't run that slowly in a long time. But I'm not beating myself up over it-I'm proud of myself for running twice in 12 hours.
I hope to get up tomorrow and run early again. BUT, I have a big morning in court tomorrow, so it will depend on how much I get done today in preparation. Tonight we get to pack for Flagstaff! Can everyone tell I'm excited to go??!?! |
