On a benchmark note: Last time I did a "fast" 15 miler was on February 18, 2012. My time was 2:17:00 and AP was 9:11.
I had a fantastic run this morning in the warm weather! I had to start earlier than I would have liked and ran most of it in the dark.
I mentally broke the run up into 5 mile segments. At mile 5, there is a bathroom. So my first mental goal was to get to the bathroom...take a GU...shed my jacket. Then I had my 2.5 mile out and back and I was just mentally blah. I hit the bathroom again...took again GU...and tried to get the stupid jacket around my waist.
I got the new Garmin Forerunner 620 for my 15 year anniversary. I think it was miscalibrated because I ran my last 5 miles faster than MP. It was difficult, but I didn't feel like I was going to die. Definitely miscalibrated!!!!
I haven't been running this fast on my TM and was quickly reminded how much faster I am outside. I wanted to hit a few MP pace miles during the run and ended up with 8 miles of them. Hooray!
My feet held up great on the run, but are now very tender and achy...same with my calves. I won't run tomorrow and have a scheduled cross training day for Monday (next week is a rest week). Hopefully that will be enough time for my feet to recover.
Time to clean the house!!
(And I dropped another 2% body fat this week even though the scale didn't move....hooray!!!)
