Well, after not as much sleep as normal due to the Fathers-Sons campout (my son woke me up at 5:30 this morning), I went ahead and did my long run this evening, which is also not what I am used to. I have come to the conclusion that I don't like running in the evening as much as I do in the early morning. It was more difficult for me today and I also ran slower than I had expected. I ran the first 2.5 miles to the track in 20:43, then my first mile at the track was 8:27, and my second mile was also 8:27. I ran the 2.5 miles back home in 21:42. Total time: 59:22, for an average pace per mile of 8:31/mile. In any case, I'm glad I got my run in, and am looking forward to getting back to my normal routine of running early in the morning on Monday. |
