We have to go to a wedding tonight and I know it will be a late night so I decided to push my long run up a day. I was scheduled to run 16 with 8 @ MP. I started the run with my son in the stroller at 9:15. I ran 5 with him then met my wife and dropped him off. At this point it was about 80 degrees and pretty humid so I knew the MP miles were going to be tough. Miles 1 - 5: 9:00 avg pace mile 6: 8:00 miles 7 - 10: 6:55 avg pace Mile 11: 8:45 (recovery) Mile 12: 7:10 Miles 13 - 16: 9:15 avg pace The heat was too much and I didn't want a repeat of last Sunday so I shut it down after the 5 MP miles and jogged the rest home. Overall, I got in 57 miles for the week which I feel good about given the extra hours needed at work this week. |
