Notes
Tough long run today. The winds were very strong out of the west, so for about 1/3 to 1/2 of my run was into a strong headwind. I didn't look to see what they actually were before I logged this, but right up there in the worst I have run in so far. In light of that, I went out entirely too fast paced overall and tried to maintain it which was not realistic. I thought I was going to hurl a couple of times toward the end of the run, like mile 11 and 13. Legs were ok, right knee a little sore, mostly toward end of the run and when running on pavement and not the shoulder. Quads were pretty tired. Perhaps the headwinds had something to do with that. Ya think?!? I didn't feel as though my pacing was consistent, but we shall see. Splits:
Mile 1: 9:43
Mile 2: 9:36
Mile 3: 9:40
Mile 4: 9:44
Mile 5: 9:41
Mile 6: 9:29
Mile 7: 9:36
Mile 8: 9:29
Mile 9: 9:24
Mile 10: 9:25
Mile 11: 9:28
Mile 12: 9:33
Mile 13: 9:31
Mile 14: 9:18
Much better than I expected, but too fast for the conditions as I was toast at the end of the run. And I have to do 12.2 more miles? Eeek.
