29F, SE 14 mph. Still sick, but felt decent enough to run this morning. I ended up doing a harder effort, 7:19/mile average, and right when I stopped it hit me like a ton of bricks. Feel like crap. Now I feel a little dumb for running nearly 2-and-a-half hours in sub-20 windchill with a chest cold. Not dumb enough to regret it though. Or maybe too dumb.
7:31, 7:38, 7:35, 7:36, 7:34, 7:40, 7:27, 7:30, 7:30, 7:29, 7:32, 7:04, 7:12, 6:59, 7:06, 7:04, 7:00, 6:58, 7:07, 6:39.
You can probably tell where I turned around and started running with the wind. Anyway, I tickled marathon pace most of the way home but never really quite got there. Gonna rest, get healthy, and keep it easy this next week while still increasing mileage. |
