One of those nights where the box labeled "Easy Miles" above is a misnomer. Nothing about tonight's run was easy. My legs were not sore after last night's tempo run, but they kinda felt dead. It really took about 12 miles tonight for them to respond. In the meantime, the sweat glands decided to come back from vacation. It wasn't any warmer in the fitness room, at least it didn't seem any warmer, and I had the fans on full blast, but the sweat just poured off. I had to stop the TM twice to go reload my water bottle, and even that wasn't enough.
But with all that, I persevered, I got in my 15 miles, even ran the last mile at roughly GMP, and I managed to finish before the security guy showed up to toss me out again -- but not by much. Took me about 2:19 to finish 15 miles, including the breaks. I'm pretty sure February is going to be my alltime PR for mileage in a month, even with 2-3 fewer possible running days and some marginal weather. |
