Revising this week's schedule on the fly, as usual, although I actually went back to the originally planned run tonight. I had intended to do intervals tonight, as part of changing peak week from next week to this. But I was still a bit sore from Saturday's "half"/MP run, and I waited too long between watching the HI board for news on the basketball coaching search, and chatting with LooHoo1 on FB. So stuck with what was written on my schedule all along, 6 easy followed by 2 hard progression. Went well. Did the 6 at 9:15 average and the 2 at 7:40, and the 7:40 really felt comfortable. I thought I was more in the 7:55 to 8:00 range, then looked at the watch at the end and it said 15:20 for the two miles. Maybe 7:50 pace is more in my range than I thought.
Speaking of watch, sent the Garmin back to the factory for the second time today. I'm hoping I'll have it back in time for the 22-miler on Sunday, but not counting on it. May have to depend on RunKeeper for my paces instead. I'm not thrilled about carrying the cell on a 22-miler; although it makes sense from a safety standpoint, it risks water/sweat/falling off my belt damage. I already fried one cellphone by getting it rained on during a run. I guess I can go back to the ziploc trick and hope that doesn't mess up the GPS. |
