Took it really really slow today and just went for a run until the last mile when I picked it up to marathon pace. Felt a little worn out this morning and since this was supposed to be an easy day I took it really easy for once. The first four miles my average was around 9:20/mile and it felt really good to just run for the sake of running. When I decided to shift gears and do my last mile at 7:30 I found it a bit difficult to get it into gear. I had second thoughts about picking up the pace but decided to go for it anyway. Sometimes that pace just feels hard and sometimes, like last Saturday's race, you feel like you could run that pace forever.
Time: 8:53/mile |
