Ran 6 miles today, still in New Mexico. Horses were neighing pretty much right away, let them loose a little bit, first mile in 7:10, then started with my tempo. I was originally shooting for 4 miles at 1/2 marathon pace (6:40), but the first mile was 6:30, second mile I slowed down a little bit, but not as much as I thought, and the second mile was 6:35. Decided to turn around, ran another MP mile in 7:06, then finished up with 2 easier miles (7:44, 7:22). Total time of 42:29, average pace of 7:05/mile. If I get the chance to run tomorrow, it will probably be after we get home, but I am not going to worry too much about it. Merry Christmas to All! |
