Training Run

Distance: 4 miles
Time: 41:14
Pace: 10:18 min/mi

Comments: Actually stuck to the plan today! I was super busy this morning due to cooking projects but got out the door at noon. It was a little bit warmer but not unpleasant at all. The lower humidity is really delightful.

I decided that my recent runs have been way too damn fast. I'm going to have to run the WDW half marathon at a slower pace than normal so I need to get some solid miles closer to that. So this was an effort at meeting that.

It was kind of nice to not have the pedal down for once but, as I've noticed before, the reduced pace can be a challenging effort itself.

Comments: Another unplanned rest day but then I got out there to get the work done today. It was damned cold yesterday and decidedly chilly this morning. But by early afternoon the weather was delightful.

I am pretty busy today so instead of easing into this one, I blasted it out like the last one. Very high cadence and strong effort throughout. The hills sucked a bit more than usual but probably because I was going too damn fast.

The plan is to run through the rest of the week. We'll see if I can stick to it.

Comments: I forgot how much I hate running in the cold. It got damn chilly this weekend with a full day of rain on Sunday. So I got slack and skipped a ton of runs again. I'm really gonna pay for all this in January.

It was literally freezing this morning so I put off the run till it was somewhat warmer. But balmy was not in the cards today. As a result I probably ran this way too fast. That was partly to warm up and partly to get the damned thing over with.
