Ran a 6 mile tempo run today with a mile warm up and cool down. Wasn't exactly sure what to expect to be able to do today based on my last marathon pace run being a complete disaster. Started the run with medium expectations of running a fairly fast temp pace. Ended up runnning the 6 tempo miles at a 7:13/mile pace which isn't bad but is slower than my expected capability. Overall I am happy with the run and felt pretty good for most of the way except for the lower back which has continued to ache but seems to be doing better with the Ibuprofen regemin. Not much rain in the valley but man it is humid for Vegas. I was drenched when I got done today.
Time: 7:30/mile |
