Notes
Felt really good today. Decided to run a couple of quick miles in preparation for next weekend's race.
First mile I started really strong, and got ahead of myself a little bit the first half of the first mile. Reigned it in a bit, and finished it out feeling tired, but not too bad.
Second mile my legs started feeling it, but mostly my lungs were not accustomed to the cold air, and were giving me a bit of difficulty. Hopefully they will get used to the cold in a hurry, since it will probably be colder than this next weekend.
Overall, I was pretty happy with how this run turned out, considering I haven't put any speed miles in recently. I was afraid I was going to have lost alot more than what I have. I quit at 2 rather than do the third mile, because I didn't want to overdo it, considering the pavement and speed were both new at this point in the season.
Estimating my fall-off to be steady, I'll probably shoot for a 21:00 or 22:00 next weekend. We'll see how it goes!
