Tonight’s Run (8:58 pace)
Tonight marks the first time that I ran under a nine minute mile. I ran tonight at a 8:58 pace, beating my last run by two seconds. I felt I was running faster and I expected to beat my time by 10 seconds, because I felt that good. Or at least contrasting how I felt from Sunday’s run, which was really hard on me. Tonight I was not that labored. However, it all felt good because it was at night and 70 degrees. I eat an hour before the run, stretched well. My left knee hurt just prior to starting, but no real pain when I ran. Normally, a lot things hurt prior to running, it is my body telling me that it does not want to do this stuff.
WAY TO GO DOUG!
Next Tue we are doing a time trial at the track 1600m 4 laps. You are challenged to come out and run under 2:15 seconds a lap for 4 laps.
Better yet, lets go for 2:05 a lap and run an 8:20 1600! Or as close to under 8:30 as possible.
Every Year in Sept we do this so next year you can compare your time.
