I decided to run my 8 mile run today in the familiar negative split format. Since I wanted to finish with a 7:30 or better pace on the last mile I started mile 1 at about an 8:40 pace and cut 10 seconds per mile for each mile. Meg stayed with me until about mile 4 and then we went our seperate ways. Short story long, I exceeded my goal and ran the last mile at 7:19. Weather was very humid again today and the sweat was flowing freely although the temps were only in the high 70s. I will take the dry heat and high temps over the wet heat and lower temps any day, this humidity is a killer.
Time: 8:01/mile |
