Started out tonight not being sure how well things would go. I skipped my run last night to cover some family responsibilities and I didn’t have time to make up for the full missed run tonight. Wasn’t feeling great most of the day either. So when I got on the treadmill I didn’t know if I would be able to push hard or if I would even want to try. Fighting both physical and mental issues.
I took it easy to start with at 7.5 mph for a mile and then figured I was up for a better push than that so I bumped to to 8 mph for 8 minutes. I was still feeling like I could push a bit harder yet so I bumped it up to 8.5 mph and did that for another 8 minutes. At that point I wasn’t feeling pushing harder so I backed off to 8 mph and just kind of zoned out. Ended up at 5.25 miles instead of 5 since I zoned nicely and wasn’t paying attention.
So in the end I didn’t push too hard but I was able to hit a nice zone so pretty positive overall.
