A Confusing Run
I suppose I didn't do that bad...I finished all 4 miles in 38:43, which is well below my 10 minutes per mile target. But I just seemed to have no endurance today, and I am not entirely sure why. ???
I started off well...I ran the entire first mile without walking. I was trying to convince myself to run the entire second mile before walking, like I did on Thursday, but for some reason, I ended up not doing that, and walking just for one minute. Then I walked another minute 1/2 mile later. Then another minute after another half mile. By the end of the whole thing, I had walked for six minutes....and I felt like death.
Maybe because it was the afternoon, instead of late night like I've been doing? Something with the sun, or some other mumbleshit. I don't know. ???
Oh well - the end result is that I finished, and I guess I did okay. My long run this week is just five miles - so that will be a nice break from the 6-7 miles the last few weeks. Also, I love that I'm looking at 5 miles as a nice short break. :)
Today's Stats:
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 38:43
Minutes per mile: 9:41
Days to Marathon: 104
Total Run: 127 miles
