Notes
Cool overcast morning and perfect for running. Felt the first drops of rain at 2.34 and certain points of the run it was pouring. Headed out toward the airport and instead of stopping at Airport variety I decided to finish off my 6th mile by running along the fence of the airport and was really starting to feel good and for an 8:10 6th mile. Instead of turning around to get a drink at the store I kept running and took a left to continue along the fence and figured I’d go as far as I could but thought it was a good idea to slow down. Hit 7.5 following the perimeter of the fence and turned around. Continued to feel a little frisky and hit 8:07 for my 8th mile and 7:57 for my 9th. @ 9.32 I stopped at Airport Variety to pee and get something to drink even though I felt great. My fear was that I was going to crash based on my pace that I wasn’t ready for. At the break the pace was at 7:37 and I was still feeling really good. Peed. Grabbed a Vitamin water and started back out. The pace slowed a bit but I was still feeling pretty good. I slowed down quite a bit going up the back side of High Street and it caused the 8:36 on the 14th mile. Felt pretty even heading home but pushed a bit the last 4/10. All and all happy with the effort and feeling stronger every day.
