TT: 2:10:24 AP: 8:09 Cadence: 179 Canal out and back 9:12, 8:49, 8:32, 8:32, 8:17, 8:07, 8:02, 8:00, 8:10, 7:42, 7:53, 7:44, 7:51, 7:55, 7:44, 7:44 I had some anxiety about this run. My last long run (15 miles) was a great run and I wasn't sure if I could do it again. And I was alone and the weather was iffy. BUT...it all worked out. I just ran. I looked at my Garmin occasionally and it all fell into place. Again, I broke the run into sections...the mile 5 and mile 11 bathroom and GU breaks. If I mentally just work on getting to those points, I could manage. I started to struggle with 4 miles to go. The wind picked up and it started to rain. I could feel the effects of those faster middle miles...PAIN CAVE. I mentally just focused on getting to the lamp post, then a sign until the end of the trail (and RAD yelling in my head....love you RAD). Then I knew I only had 1.6 miles to home. My AP was 20 secs faster per mile than last week. Yikes...I'm not sure if that is good or bad??? Hammies are tight and feet are a bit sore. It's over! And in a few hours, I get to get up and do it again :) |
