Mile 9.5 cool down
Total miles 10. Overall pace 8:23. I was SO tired at the beginning of this. I felt like I was really pushing myself in my first mile at a 9:20 pace!!! I thought for sure I would be running slow all the way through. But, when I got down to the last 4 miles, I felt ok! I did not feel like I was going to hurl. It felt comfortably hard. JUST WHAT I WANT TO PRACTICE! So, decent run.
I took today off, because my knee is bugging me a little more than usual. I ran a little harder and longer last week overall. I DON'T want to injure myself!!!! My race is less than 2 weeks!
Weekly mileage report (I don't usually do this, but I am going to try to keep up):
Sunday 4 miles easy (outside)
Monday 1 mile warm up, 6 miles 7:39 pace, .5mile cool down, total 7.5 miles (tempo, treadmill)
Tuesday 1 mile warm up, 3 miles 7:14 pace, .7mile cool down, total 4.7 miles (speed, treadmill)
Wednesday 3 miles easy (outside)
Thursday 1 mile warm up, 5 miles 8:03 pace, .5mile cool down, total 6.5 miles (tempo outside)
Friday 4.3 miles easy (treadmill)
Saturday .5mile warm up, 9 miles 8:23 pace, .5mile cool down (long run outside)
Total miles: 40
So, now I am going to taper a bit this week. Our anniversary is Friday, so we will probably go somewhere overnight!!!
My race is only 9.3 miles instead of a 1/2 marathon. But I am fine with that. I really wanted to PR a 1/2, but maybe I will do the Platt River 1/2 in April. That will give me lots more time to get my pace where I want it to be.
Happy Sunday, and FIRST day of FALL!
