Today's plan
calls for a Rest/XT Day, but I feel like going for an overdue Easy Run, instead.
DC Bike Path: 1/2 Marathon Training, Easy Run. Dist: (5.69)mi. Pace-avg: (16:06). Speed-avg: (3.7)mph. Speed-max: (4.7)mph. Burned: (592) Calories. Running lights.
Plan: Run (2.0)mi. @ a (17:57) pace, for a total of (35:54)min.
Actual:
Run (2.0)mi. @ a (14:17) avg. pace for a total of (28:33)min., bracketed by a (1.0)mi. warm-up walk, and a (2.69)mi. cool-down
walk.
Fuel: Pre-run:
peanut butter on wheat toast, coffee w/ sugar; Mid-run: water; Post-run: dinner.
Tonight's run was very nice. I was able to maintain a good pace and jogged two (2) continuous miles this evening, which was much better than my efforts earlier in the week. I'm not sure if the pre-run caffeine infusion, or maybe the warm-up squats, did the most to help me on tonight's run. Again, I wish I had taken my camera: Watching the mist form at ground level during the return leg of my run was rather beautiful.
Split paces: Mile (1): (14:04); Mile (2): 14:38).
Now I'm a little torn between jumping in the shower to warm up, or change into gym clothes and go workout for a bit, now that my muscles are all warmed up already...
-Lancer!!
