Notes
It was the final Fleet Feet Tuesday Night Run which means it was race day. We did our normal 2.5 mile loop just one time and had some official timing. I planned on running it easy, and did the first mile at a conservative (9:00), but good pace considering how much fitness I have lost lately.
The second mile kicked in and Steve and Karen who I was running with sped it up a bit so I decided to stay with them. The second mile clocked in at 8:39 which was an easy pace not too long ago. It wasn't an easy pace now and I was sucking wind pretty drastically. My body felt good other than the wind sucking so I kept the pace and stuck with them for the remainder .6 miles to finish it off in 22:39 an 8:43 overall pace.
I am really happy with this time, effort, and how my body felt given the journey I have in front of me to get back in shape.
Good times! I am going to miss Tuesday Night Running Group :(
