Was up later than normal last night at Jamie's softball game which started 40 minutes late due to the umpire for the previous game showing up late. I'm not sure why they don't make adjustments in situation like that considering this is a school night, because we didn't leave the park until 9:45 and we were in bed by about 10:20. Just a little bit late for a 9 year old in my humble opinion. They did end up winning, 13-7!! Jamie had a walk, and a fielders choice hit with an RBI. Anyway, I still managed to get up and get going this morning even though I was about 10 minutes late getting started. Wanted to go 8 miles today, then considered 6 during the run, settled on 7 because I was able to pick up the pace and get done at a reasonable hour. For some reason the effort today didn't seem very hard for the pace. I guess the fatigue from Tuesday nights hill run had worn off and I was able to pick it up. Maybe it was the fact that I was in a hurry to log the miles and get done at a decent hour. Whatever the reason, things went well this morning and the faster pace felt pretty good, not easy, but comfortable, could have kept going at that pace for a while. Weather was a tad warmer today at 63 and breeze was fairly light.
Time: 7:53/mile |
