Had a great run. Started off at about a 7:22/mi pace and kept it going for a good 3 miles before I started feeling the beating and slowed down to just below 8:00/mi or so. Did that for about a mile and a half, but somewhere in there all the carbs I loaded up on last night kicked in and I powered through the next 3 miles at a BQ pace. Finished overall at around 7:25/mi pace average for 8 miles, so I was really stoked on that. It was pretty tough the last mile or so but I am pretty happy nonetheless, especially considering that I've just been feeling so tired on run the last week. We've had no sun for the last 2 and a half weeks and I can tell it's affecting my energy level. I'd never survive in places that rain a lot. |
