Shel Silverstein Run

7.6 miles in 1:06:18 (8:43/mile)

A nice run on Saturday morning run to where the sidewalk ends. :) 55 degrees and slightly overcast, but dry. Actually, it pretty much blew. I felt heavy and leaden the entire run. I just never felt like I was moving well. Certainly wasn't a confidence inspiring run for the future, at the time. I'm not worried now. Much. :)

Turns our I ran .2 of a mile further and 5 seconds a mile faster than last week. It didn't feel that way though.

Managed to get the whole 22oz bottle of water down this run though. Was still 1.5 lbs down after the bottle and a few extra ounces before I left. I was slightly gritty, but not 'scaly', when I got back which I read somewhere is an indicator of the amount of how much salts I'm dumping.

updated 6/16: Wanted to write myself a note to remember that I didn't have my OJ before the run. Maybe that explains the leaden legs?

splits:
mile1 - 8:41
mile2 - 9:48 (+.12 miles around traffic) (8:45 pace)
mile3 - 9:05 (+.08 miles around traffic) (8:25 pace)
mile4 - 8:37
mile5 - 9:08
mile6 - 8:58
mile7 - 9:10 (+.04 miles around traffic) (8:49 pace)
.36 - 2:53 (7:58 pace)
