Got that 7:00 goal mile by the skin of my teeth. The first 0.3 or so was right into the 20mph wind and kicked my butt to the point where I kind of mentally gave up for a bit during the next 0.3, which was crosswind. But, I found a finishing kick for the last 0.4 with the tailwind. I brought the mile pace from 7:33 to 6:59 in the last 0.4 miles. I thought the graph of that mile was cool, but I'm apparently too dumb to figure out how to paste it in, sorry. Ctrl-c and ctrl-v no worky. Anyway, I actually had to walk for a good 10-15 seconds afterward before I could started slowly shuffling home.
I actually started feeling some decent fatigue in my legs today. I've been hitting it pretty hard lately so I'll take that as a good thing, but for next Thusday before the 10K I'll dial it back a bit to give myself a shot at a good time. |
