Recovery Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 38:11
Pace: 9:32 min/mi

Comments: Went out mid-morning and it turned out to be a bit of a mistake. The warm conditions and tired legs made this one pretty unpleasant from the start. It's the first one I've been really tempted to cut short in quite some time.

Still, my pace was strong and my heart rate was elevated, but not out of range for recovery run efforts. I was honestly surprised I finished this at almost 9:30 pace. Obviously, that wasn't the goal here but it helps handle the negative mental impact of such a struggle run.
