Notes
Had to drop off/pick up some stuff from Jane at work so I decided to combine that with a run. Parked at the BGC in Wheaton and headed east on the prairie path. This was definitely my best ITB day so far. Felt it a bit but nothing that would be noteworthy in and of itself. I'm clearly not in very good shape but, all things considered, I am really pleased with this run.
1mi - 7:40 - this mile is long by about 10-15 sec because I started at the parking lot, not at the mile mark
2mi - 6:56 - Finally opening up
3mi - 6:39 - This mile doesn't feel terribly downhill, but when you run it the other way you realize just how downhill it is.
4mi - 6:47 - My knee felt a little funny as I headed over 355. I was worried for a bit but it never turned into anything. Happy that sub 7 pace doesn't feel forced
5mi - 6:51
6mi - 6:46 - This is the most uphill mile. Just wanted to stay relaxed this whole run, so I'm happy that I didn't have to dig to maintain pace
7mi - 6:55 - Starting to feel like this is the longest I've run in a long while
8mi - 6:59 - Another long mile, just like the first one.
