I must have been tired last night because I zonked out at 9:30 and got over 9 hours of sleep. It really felt good to get the rest. I had to hurry and get dressed and get out the door this morning. I was just really slow getting ready to go for some reason. I ran 11.21 miles at an overall 7:07 pace 1:19. I started out slow this morning (8:04, 7:33, 7:38, 730, 7:36) then I hit some downhill and that the only reason why my overall pace was in the low 7 minute range (6:40, 6:01, 6:41) flat (6:48, 6:45, 7:03). I did my standard Olympus Rd loop expect I added a few blocks extra to get the 11 miles. I don't know if I will be able to run on my lunch hour or at night. Lunch It was hot at 81 degrees with higher humidity today at
lunch. I took a late lunch where I started my run at about 1:45. I
ran uphill on Buckskin Rd, then turned up American road to get its .3
hill. Then I turned around to get about three miles of downhill (5:37,
6:18, 6:09). Then I stopped at Comments Cents to buy two 32oz bottles
of Powerade Zero and a 16oz 2% milk for lunch. I looked funny running
with a bag of groceries on my last mile which I did in 6:55. Totals
8.21 miles in 54.37 minutes at an overall 6:39 pace. Very good run in
what felt really hot. (Both runs Mizuno Precisions 8 - 590 miles) I need new shoes soon.
