Me: 2 km warm up, 6km half pace, 1 km cooldown 9km total
I had a great run today for a number of reasons, or maybe none of the following:
1. A great night's sleep. I logged over 8 hours of snoozing!
2. I huge supper. I had a big plateful of gluten free pasta and half a chicken breast.
3. I started my run about 9am, which is hours earlier than the afternoon runs I have been doing. I find my brain is sharpest in the morning, so I need to do school work then while I can still think clearly.
4. I slowed down. My previous race pace runs have been about 5:32/km. I slowed this to a 5:38. The five seconds don't seem like a lot on paper, but they really helped. Also 5:38/km is closer to what a true 2 hour half pace is, 5:41. I don't need to try to train for the faster result.
This morning my feet do feel tender. I have the plan to call the doctor that did the cortisone injections in my feet to see if she will do them for me. I don't want to have to go through my rheum.
