Notes
--- A 43-second PR from eight days ago, all made up over the last 2.15 miles. ---
Mile splits: 8:51, 8:43 (17:34), 8:28 (26:02) and 1:11 (27:13) last 0.15 miles (7:53 pace)
Another good run today. Decided on the way out the door that I would run the 3.17 (today it was 3.15) Around the Neighborhood loop instead of the 2.27-mile Massachusetts loop (plus an add-on). This would put me over my goal of 16.5 miles for the week in five runs, but I had decided the day before to try and run Saturday and make it 19.8 miles in six days.
Felt pretty good right from the beginning. Did a great job of not looking at my pace or heart rate once and just ran. I looked at my watch for times and splits, but not even close to how much I normally do. Was right about the same time today (8:51) at the first mile as eight days ago (8:50), but from there ran 43 seconds faster the rest of the way (today 2.15 miles) even as the end of mile No. 2 and No. 3 are uphill. Just got into a pretty good rhythm, feeling better as I went along. Hit the second mile in 8:43 (17:34). Really got moving on the third mile, feeling great. Wasn’t pushing at all and was surprised to hit the third mile in 8:28 (26:02) as eight days ago the third mile was in 8:53. Then cruised to the downhill finish, making it 3.15 miles in 27:13 (8:39 pace).
So the three times I have run this I’ve gone 28:55 (9:08 pace) on May 19, 27:56 (8:49 pace) on May 30 and 27:13 (8:39 pace) today (June 7).
At 8:39 pace (think I got robbed a little bit on the distance, should have been faster), it was my fastest run since running ~2.7 miles in 8:17 pace on Oct. 13, 2018 (34 runs in between).
Hopefully can get out there and run three miles easy tomorrow on grass and/or dirt.
