Easy 6 today. Decided to run negative splits about halfway through this run and finished our fifth mile in just under 8:00, thus the 1 fast mile. After mile 1 we shaved about 15 seconds off per mile and then cooled down with a slow mile 6. Everything is feeling pretty good except my lower back. I can run with it and it's not bad pain it just kinda nags at me as I run. I'm hoping that losing the excess belly fat and strengthening my abs will help support my back better in the future. Temps seemed a little cooler today at the start and the weather was perfect again.
Time: 8:27/mile |
