MP run at Southside: Warm up for 1.5, then dynamic stretches. Plan was to do 3 miles at MP, jog a mile, then another 3, but I felt like I was in a good rhythm so I just kept going. Then I jogged 2.5 to cool down instead of 1.5, so I still got in the full 10 miles. I've needed a lot more workouts like this. Wouldn't say I'm ready, but I feel more confident after this run than I have in a while. Average was almost exactly 8:00. Weather was good: 50ish, overcast, breezy. Maybe too breezy, but the wind helped keep the sweat out of my eyes, which is good, and I wasn't having to work too hard to overcome it. Now heading to Fayetteville. Going to unload some of my old running shoes at Fleet Feet, go by the ticket office to buy a basketball mini-pak for the SEC season, then go to dinner with Tyler before the basketball game tonight. |
