I really feel like part of the group because I also started out this morning feeling like carp. Was waiting for it to go away but can't really say it did. well, & then I had salmon for lunch.(really). sounds fishy to me. 68F to start, 94% H, 78F to finish. plan was 13 miles, 7 @ base pace, rest 6 progression to HM pace. I sort of did that. 13.15 miles, 10:12 was average, -- not including breaks & water stops. 9:07 max. 166 ahr, 179 max. My base pace doesn't line up with my shorter distance paces. meant to do them at about 10:34. I am really bad at targeting paces. Miles were 10:36, 10:18, 10:11, 10:13, 10:34, 10:19, 10:14, 10:01, 10:13, 9:57, 10:09, 9:50, 9:44. fwiw. Way fewer stops than last week, but not stellar. I was kind of discouraged out there today.
Holly, can I borrow your shoutouts? heh, while we're at it, can I borrow your run???
Great comeback run, Tramps. I thought that your earlier posted runs were a little sluggish, but you seem to have found your form again.
Slo- take it easy on yourself-I think you're in fine shape.
13.1 "tempo" or "negative progression" miles this morning at the NYC 1/2 marathon-it was too hot for me to try anything faster (I did do the first 4 miles at a little under 7 m/m, but quickly realized that today was not the day for that)...1:37:35, 7:26/mile.
Before and after the race, I got to meet up with CNY runner...who is not only swift-of-foot, but very nice, to boot. She also had a good run, despite the heat (I'll let he do her own RR)....It's nice to meet cyber-buddies.
Now to resume the lotus position in front of the air conditioner.

Well, that was awful.
Actually it didn't go so bad at all, though I was definitely NOT looking forward to part 2 of the double LR. Once the golf was over I decided "now or never". I had already held off on having my normal Sunday brewskys. AND everyone else had BLT's and I wanted to wait til after. AND (last but not least) it was hawt at 85° and 59%. AND I hate running late.
Ughhh.
But after feeling understandably tight the first few miles I finished off 7 miles in 1:05 in a groove at a pretty fair average clip (9:16).
21 miles total for the day in a total of 3:13.
Running a double to make the 21 miles was definitely easier than 21 all at once. I certainly didn't feel that dead, hanging on last few miles that some of those 20 milers feel like.
Still don't like running late ...
