Weather - 86 degrees, sunny, humid. An easy 5 miles today through Busey Woods and the park. Lately my easy runs have included a fast paced 1-2 miles. Today the final 2 miles were run at 6:10 pace. A few months ago I would not have considered that an easy run, but my current fitness level is not strained by shortened bursts of speed. If I were to run 5 miles at 6:10 pace, that would be too hard, I am not fit enough yet for that to seem easy. #247 |
