11/17 Run

First run of the week at lunch and I manage to miss the rain. It's 50 degrees, and clearish. Wow!

The first mile is a bit of work. HR feels abnormally high. After I blow out the carbon though I feel like I'm just flying, with dreams of surprisingly amazing marathon performance dancing in my head like little GU fairies. :)

The 6 miles on Saturday were 8:39/mile @ 159.

Today was:
6.1 miles in 52:58 (8:41/mile) @ 154 bpm

8:53 @ 161
8:22 @ 153
8:36 @ 153
8:36 @ 152
8:44 @ 154
8:54 @ 155
.1 - 8:57 @ 155

Check out miles 2-4... Where did that come from? Maybe I'm kicking this cold? I hope so!

I got chicked right after mile 4, by a gal who had been just behind me for a few miles. I'm blaming the headwind on the return leg for the degraded performance in miles 5 and 6. :)
