10 miles this morning! The pathetic part is that it's been 2 months since I've done this. Stupid winter and sickness!! Two months ago I hadn't missed a 10 mile week in over a year. Sad. But, at least I've started back again. Did it in 1:35, so we average 9:30 min/mile. Not great, but okay, all things considered. Mile 6 was our best again, think it was between an 8 and 8:30. It always is the fastest, bit of downhill, plus it helps when some jerk decides to honk at you on the road. It's 7:00 a.m. - is that really necessary?? And, no I wasn't in any danger of being hit. So, that sped me up a bit :) By mile 8 I was getting pretty tired. And hungry. The last 2 miles felt a bit slow, but we pushed on. Made us sprint the last 50 yards to the finish. Kind of a nice change for the muscles :) Glad the weather cooperated today, too. It was a balmy 33 degrees when we left this morning. Balmy, yes. When the high has been 15 or so earlier this week, 33 feels quite pleasant :) |
