Notes
This was a good run. I honestly was thankful for the easier day today. I'm getting better at being patient and enjoying my easy days. It's really helping me avoid burn out and reconnect with enjoying running.
I was averaging 8:20-8:30ish for the middle miles before the pick ups that I did. I did one per mile. I didn't realize I was speeding up at the end. Dang it. I watched my heart rate for the first few miles but I hit some serious hills between miles 2 and 3 and it's just impossible to keep my heart rate down for that part so I kind of abandoned ship after that but I should've gotten back to it because it crept up and obviously so did my pace. I felt like I had found my easy effort and didn't need to scope the heart rate but I think next time I'm gonna try to keep a better eye on it so the pace doesn't get away from me. I don't want to risk wearing out my legs on easy days because I know that doesn't set me up well for harder workouts.
