Well, wasn't sure how my fitness had held up. Since running the half marathon at the end of September, I had done very little faster work. Plus, though the temperature was only 32°, I found out that there were some icy patches on the road. The Plan for this 3rd day of my 10K training called for 1 mile warm-up, 3 miles @ 7:36 mpm, 1 mile cool-down. Here are my splits:
0.23 x 2:58.72 (Walking)
1.00 x 8:56.78 (Warm up)
1.00 x 7:40.95 (At this point, thought I wouldn't make it)
1.00 x 7:13.15 (Hmmm. Probably should slow down)
1.00 x 7:14.96 (Whoa! Didn't slow down much -- felt good)
1.25 x 9:51.82 (Ahhh. Watch the ice!)
Run well, y'all,
Bob

WHOA!! Nice running. Who runs an extra .25 at the end? Great work!
ReplyDeleteGood workout!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the notes, Nancy and David. Nancy, if I didn't run the extra .25 at the end, I would have stopped short of home! And, home was where the warm shower, chai and breakfast were.
