Whew! I ran with two guys from my running group. We started at 6:00 am. It was still completely dark out, but we had a full moon, so it was really pretty. Overall, it felt OK. After about 12 miles, my lungs felt great, but my legs were starting to feel heavy. There were a lot of people out, and I saw my husband twice! He did 20 miles spectacularly.
Total time was 2:59:11, a 9:57 average. My mile splits were 10:13, 10:14, 10:05, 9:56, 10:06, 10:00, 10:50 (slowing down so friend could catch up after pit stop), 10:16, 10:23, 10:06, 9:55, 10:18 (slowing down to look for a friend, whom we never found), 9:50, 9:51, 9:49, 9:42, 9:24, and 8:25. I'm glad I had the gas in the tank to supercharge it at the end, but overall I think I should have done better. I would have rather run all the miles under 10:00. However, I have had a couple of weeks of less than stellar mileage. It's time to pick it back up! No more mileage under 40 per week! |
