OK- I feel better now. I went for a run this morning from my house, over & up tithing hill and across Lampton view. It was hard. I thought- Ouch, I have lost all of my training, in the last few weeks of sporadic training. I was a bit depressed about it. My Garmin quit a while back so I had to time how long it took me and then use map my run to determine the distance. For some reason I had in my mind that the run was only 5 miles so as I was running I thought, not only that my pace was fairly slow, like a 9mm, but that I was losing it because my legs and lungs were not cooperating like I wanted them to. Well, the run was actually 5.81 miles so my AP was 7:47. That's a pretty good pace for a fairly hard run. I feel much better now. 1.3 mile cool down. |
