The weather forecasts have been dreadful. And just a little off. Not that I'm complaining. If they were correct, I would not have been able to run outside on Saturday, Sunday, or Tuesday. But I did. I hope the trend continues.
After yesterdays 8 mile run, today was to be a recovery run. Less than 5 miles but at least 4. I don't follow the normal labels for runs - recovery, easy, tempo, etc. I run by feel. I have a distance goal. But I run as I feel.
Now, my Garmin continues to give inconsistent readings in the first mile. I pretty much where the first mile ends. But, on Tuesday, it was long. My time for the "first" mile was 9:16. It felt like a 9, and it felt easy. I tried to keep the pace, but iwas easy so I actually picked it up. I ran the Springbrook trail on the east side of Plainfield-Naperville Road. I had not run this route in a while. The third mile has a little uphill segment. Not long, but a nice incline. So, this mile is always slow. On this day, the third mile was run in 9:01 which means I was feeling pretty good. It ended up as a 4.6 mile run, at 8:49 mpm. Pretty good after yesterdays 8 miles.
But the rest of the week looks bad. Cold (under 30) and windy. Rain too. We shall see.
