The plan today was for 6 miles with the last 4 at 8:30 pace. I had to adjust that a bit because of time and wind. I got out a bit late and realized I needed to be at the school to help in my daughter's class at 12:15. So in order to get back and have time for a shower I had to cut a mile out.
So I did 2 miles warm up then tried for the 8:30 for the last three. The up hill and wind on the first two made it so I could only get to a 8:46 and 8:58 pace. Finally the last mile was level and crosswind instead of up hill and head wind. I did that mile in 7:49 and felt much better than the others!
Hurried home, showered, quick bite to eat and off to help at the school. Came out of the school to some rain....glad I was done with the run! Now I want chocolate! |
