3/25 Medium Long Run

Hoped a run after my frustrations about the testing would make me feel better. And even running it slowly, it did. Was tired and unmotivated so I ran out and back on 35th (a super boring run, so I took music for a change) so I could bail out at 6 and move 2 miles to Thursday instead. Unsurprisingly, I did all 8 miles anyway.

Lost my brain somewhere and forgot to turn on GPS on the watch until mile 1, when I couldn't figure out why my elapsed distance wasn't changing, so mile 1 is a pretty accurate estimate. (Advantage to having run this route so many times.)

Did this odd out and back and out and back and part way back and back and partway out and back run trying to avoid streets and lights.

I ended up being a little faster than I had thought I might be, thank goodness.

8.02 miles in 1:32:17 (11:33/mile) @ 135 bpm.

Splits:
1 - 11:06 (estimate)
2 - 11:06 @ 133
3 - 11:06 @ 136
4 - 11:41 @ 136
5 - 11:49 @ 134
6 - 12:00 @ 135
7 - 11:37 @ 136
8 - 11:37 @ 136
