I stayed up way to late last night to watch the Olympics, but it was worth it until I realize I only got about 5 1/2 hours of sleep. The temperature this morning was perfect at 48 degrees. My legs were dead on the first mile (8:05) pace. Then I warmed up (7:22, 7:13, 6:57,6:51,6:54,6:48,6:46,6:50,6:45) then I ended the run with a little bit faster mile 6:23. I need to run more races I'm not feeling that I've pushed myself enough. Oh well the marathon coming so that will be motivation. Not sure if I should do a second run or just rest for the marathon?
Totals 11.31 miles at an overall 6:58 pace in 1:18.
Evening: I tried to keep the pace slow tonight so that I'm on my feet for the endurance more so than trying to push the pace. Not bad 6.71 miles at a 7:13 pace in 48:27 minutes. The temperature was around 85 degrees but it really didn't feel hot to me. I ran around my daughter's soccer field complex while she was practicing. (Ran both with Mizuno Precesion 8 - 537 miles)
