9:05 miles
6:31 overall pace
59:08 time
Ran in a heavy snowfall this morning, but the funny thing is it didn't
really effect my speed. Although I did fall flat on my face sliding
all over on a downhill section (the only downhill section that was only
100m's... go figure :-)). I decided to do a progressive run the last
three miles.
Mile 7 (6:28) really easy like I really wasn't putting any effort. Mile 8 (6:07) felt easy going on a flat straightway road. Mile
9 (5:48) felt pretty good... the last .2 I had to work for. I wanted
the whole mile to feel easy. This is something I need to work on
getting a string of 5 tempo miles in the 5 minute something range
again.I did start to slip on the road a little bit the last two miles because of the snow so that would make the effort harder. I did this run before Church which I usually take Sunday's off, but I'm off tomorrow and I wanted to take a rest day tomorrow. After Church: I
ran 9.5 miles on the treadmill while watching the Chargers lose to the
Patriots. I averaged just below a 7 minute pace. At least watching
the game kept my mind off the treadmill boredom. I was really hoping
the Chargers would win oh well. I was hungry after the 18 miles
because all I ate up to this put was a small bowl of oatmeal. I
grabbed an orange and ate it because we were going out later so I
didn't wan to eat anything heavy.
After running I took my family out to a Movie and then we went out to eat a Chinese buffet. Good day over 18 miles.
