5 miles this morning. I really felt yesterday's workout. Yes people, there is a reason Fridays are rest days. I ran down by the river. Since my last run down there in early March, the name of the road has changed from Eastern Ave. to Riverside Drive. Well, well! Aren't we becoming gentrified!? Apparently, and to my benefit, Fleet Feet and Team in Training had held Flying Pig training runs this morning (much earlier than I got up) and left their goodies down on Riverside Dr. I came by and helped myself to some blue gatorade just when I was thinking to myself, "Man, I could really use a boost!" I hope I'm as lucky tomorrow for my 20. A friend of mine may be joining me for miles 5-15 so that will break it up nicely for me.
This morning's statistics:
Weather: coldish, rainy, headwind on the way back.
Mile 1 9:46
Mile 2 9:25
Mile 3 9:53
Mile 4 10:22
Mile 5 10:10
*Sigh* I am trying to make these marathon pace runs. I'm having a hard time holding these "shorter" runs to my marathon pace, which I believe should be anywhere between 10:30-11:00. I guess I'm just too enthusiastic!
