Whoa, there's a first . . . first time Lybi's long run has been longer than mine, and first time she has run more miles than me for the week. How about that! I'm so proud of her . . . Now on to my run. I was again contemplating doing 12 miles, but decided to listen to my own little voice of reason today and just do 10 miles. After having been sick for most of the week (although not too bad - sorry to hear about Logan and Nick), I thought that doubling my Friday miles probably wouldn't have been a good idea. Started off nice and easy at around 7:40 pace or so, picked up the pace and was averaging 7:30/mile for the first 5 miles. Hit the turnaround, and decided to pick up the pace to MP. Next mile in 7:09, then 6:52 for the 7th mile. Wasn't looking at the Garmin, and accidentally picked up the pace even more the next mile, 6:44. Then I decided I was already doing a progressive tempo run, so I might as well try to go a little faster the next mile, which would be my last tempo mile. I made it, but had to work fairly hard at it - 6:42. Cooled down the last mile, 7:41. Total time for the run of 1:12:34, average pace of 7:15/mile. |
