I have to be completely honest with you all….. I woke up this morning, well slept in until 9:30, and was in ABSOLUTELY NO mood for today’s run. This thought has crossed my mind a couple of times before during my training, but I thought back to how I felt after the runs were over: glad I had run. To make matters worse, I procrastinated so much this morning I missed my window of opportunity to run prior to the rain.
Oh well, week #1 of my 18-week USAF Marathon training plan is in the books! Not bad having put in over 75 hours at work this week with about 12-14 hours of sleep in the past three days….. Time to relax and watch some baseball; “Go Stros!”
Splits:
#1 7:56
#2 8:07
#3 8:14
#4 8:43
#5 8:43
#6 8:46
#7 8:46 < talk about consistency, lol
6.2 @52:14 (8:26 pace). Not too bad for a rain run but it is over 2 minutes off my 10K PR….. I would like to get my 10K down below 50:00 and my 5K in the 22:00’s. Take care and be safe!
PS: I hit the 600 mile mark (post-knee surgery #2) with today's run. And, I'm slowly creeping up on 400 miles for the year..... "Can I get an AMEN!"
Happy running and God bless!
