I started running outside, and I felt good from the beginning, so I tried to continue with a good pace. The first mile was 7:30, which is a little fast for a warmup, but oh well. The next two miles had a slight downhill, and I was able to run about 7:20-7:25 for those. Then on the way home, I was able to continue at 7:20-7:25 pace for the next three miles. The last 0.4 miles were slower for a cooldown. Total 6.4 miles. Overall average pace: 7:31. I just felt great tonight, and my times reflected it. Burt must have inspired me to run some faster mileage since he did the same. I was breathing somewhat hard at times, but never was it super hard. No left calf pain for third straight day! Minor aches and pains here and there, but doing great! |
