AM - got up to run this morning. Glad I did - it felt pretty good. Started out nice and easy and slowly got into a good pace. First mile was 8:22. Shortly thereafter, I hit the canal bank. Mile 2 was 7:57 - a little faster than I had anticipated, but still felt pretty good. Went a little further then turned around. Mile 3 was 7:50. Still feeling pretty good, but trying to slow down. Mile 4 was 7:45, and then I cooled down for about 1/2 mile. Average pace of 7:58/mile. |
