Got a little bit of a late start today so I decided to push the pace a little more than usual to get my 7 miles in before taking the kids to school at 6:40. Didn't have much time to stretch before hand or after so I will spend some time this morning at work stretching. Just took off and got going as best I could. That first mile is always the toughest to get the breathing under control and find a semi-comfortable pace. After 3 miles I had to stop in at the house for a bathroom break and then finished off the last 4 at a fairly decent pace well under 8:00/mile. Weather was warm again today at 45 degrees and very little breeze. I had to shed my top layer so I didn't overheat. I was glad to shed a bit since it is nice to run without so much extra weight.
Time: 7:50/mile
PM: Ran 2 miles with Cory in 20:02. |
