Ran 6.02 miles today in the rain at an overall 7:37 pace in 45.55 minutes. The splits were consistently lower each mile except for the last where I wanted to end slow. 8:23, 7:51, 7:37, 7:32, 6:55, 7:26. The first mile is always a painful struggle, because my form is uneven and I compensate on the leg. But once I get warmed up it gets better. The 6:55 mile isn't exactly easy. The leg I think prevents me to seeing where my fitness really is. Because I don't breathe hard at that pace. I'm amazed and humbled how far I've come. I get so emotional just to be able to run.
