No plan for tonight -- just started the watch and ran, never checked pace. Only looked at the watch once to check distance because I wasn't sure I hadn't zoned out and lost count of my laps at the park (I hadn't). Felt like I was running a little faster than usual, but that perceived effort has fooled me before. The wind started to pick up as the run progressed, and I was pretty sure I bumped up my effort to counter the wind, but again I wasn't sure.
Got home, stopped the watch and looked. Less than an hour for 6.88. Every mile faster than the one before. The last 0.88 was at sub-8 pace, roughly GMP. The kind of run I seem to be good at. Now if I could just get myself to run negative splits in a race, I'd have something. Anyway, a nice way to rebound from last night's dead legs. |
