Sundays are my long run days. Since summer seems to be in full swing in South GA, I decided to get up early and do my morning runs before church every week to avoid the blazing hot afternoon sun. I'm not much of a morning person and my legs proved that today.
This morning, I got up before 9:30 mass to do my long run. It was slow, but it felt good for the most part. I ran 9.41 miles in 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 50 seconds (about 10 minutes slower than my 15K time... blah). I was sooo tired afterward. At church, I had to grab on to the pew in front of me in order to stand up/sit down/kneel.
Jason ran the last 3 miles with me, which was nice. He kept me going when I really wanted to quit. I have been running without my iPod lately, which has not been too terrible. I should wear it next time to see if that makes me run faster. I would like my 80 minute runs to eventually be 10 miles long. Although I am off pace, I'm still pretty proud of myself. :-)
Average Pace: 9:00 per mile/6.7 miles per hour
Number of Intervals: Running around the neighborhood.
Aches and Pains: slight pain in my knee, I think it was a tired muscle though, nothing to worry about
Breakthroughs: Maybe I need my iPod to speed me up.
Age of Shoes: about 3 months
