Hit and runb today, since I don't have much computer time. Got up at 5:20 a.m. in Phoenix to hit the road before it got hot. It was still 87 degrees when I started. But it really wasn't that bad, particularly on the return run when I got the benefit of a bit of breeze. Even kept the singlet on for the whole run.
Pretty sure I negative-splitted the run with the help of that cooling breeze, although haven't gone back to confirm on the Garmin readout. Walked 0.41 miles while the GPS locked in, then ran 7.12, for total of 7.53. I took it fairly easy to keep the HR down, coming in just under 10:00 pace. I'm still kinda sore from the run, which was on a nice gravel path alongside the canal near my hotel. But the soreness could be as much from sitting in class all day for Apogee training. Which I have for another 6 hours tomorrow. |
