Didn't get much sleep last night, but still got up at 5:30 to meet Eric, Aaron and company for a nice run. We drove out to Copperton and ended near the District. Mostly a downhill run with a few rollers here and there. I really liked this and think it will be a good downhill training run.
I started way too fast (8:00) and held between 8:00-8:30 for the first 8 miles. At that point Aaron sped up and I ran with a guy I didn't know. He was planning on 15, but the pace was a little fast for him the whole time so he called it quits at 13 with me. We slowed a bit, but still kept it under 9. AP 8:30.
I felt really good all day and I'm not sore. Was worried I had pushed a little too hard, but I guess not. So, I like running with people a little bit, but I tell ya, I really enjoy doing my own pace...I think I listen to my body a little more and am smarter when I'm not trying to run someone else's pace. |
