12 miler today. Just tagging along w/ Heather & Buff as they train for Boston & a 50k. My next race isn't until Hurricane 1/2 in May (oh and an April 5k). I ran w/ them for about 9.5, then left and ran home for the 12 mi. total. I think they got about the same distance in. We averaged 9:30ish for the first 9.5 while all 3 of us were together then I slowed down to 10:40ish/miles for the last uphill 2.5. My body was sluggish- still recovering from 10k last Sat. AND I have had low mileage weeks the last 2 weeks so my body just wasn't into it. But I'm glad I made myself get out there this morning. I think I'll spin tomorrow and run again Fri & Sat. Hope to get my weekly mi. average back up to mid 20s this week. |
