Pace: 10:16 min/mi
Comments: Not gonna lie, my legs are pretty tired. Even though I would have preferred to take the day off, I got outside rather early. The cool temperatures are still here and that keeps the newbies off the trails for awhile.
I not only ran this one a bit too fast, I did it a little bit too hard as well. Almost 70 percent of the run was in the Zone 5 range. I could really feel the fatigue on the hills of the last mile.
I'm pretty excited about the off day tomorrow. We'll see what I can accomplish over the weekend.
