Definitely a strong run tonight – after a rough week of not feeling well and missing miles it felt really good to push pretty hard.
I started off a strong 7.5 mph speed with an occasional bump up to 9 mph to test the legs and see where I was. At about the 10 minute mark I started to push harder – I would do one minute at 7.5 mph and two at 9 mph and felt pretty strong doing that.
I had scheduled 5 miles for tonight but I was feeling strong enough that I figured I would push through and see where I could get to at the 45 minute mark…got there and realized I was awfully close to a half of a half so I bumped up the speed to 9.5 mph and pushed out the last 1:19 at that speed.
That helps the mind set!
I am off work tomorrow and through the weekend – for those three days I have two 13.1 mile runs scheduled…maybe I will add in a third day of running to get back some of the miles I lost earlier in the week? I will have to see how I am feeling before I make that final decision. Healthy > extra miles
