Notes
First long pace run
6 up
10 at pace (7:40-7:30)
Wow - real gut check run here. This was really brutal. I almost quit this at mile 5 and then again at mile 8 - seriously, the heat was just really bad. Hit Teds at 9 and took a gu. Gave myself a good talking to as well. Was feeling pretty dejected but figured I would give it a try anyway. Last 7 went WAY better and ended up leaving this run feeling so much better - found my pace quick and it really wasn't a struggle at all after the Ted's water stop. I even ran through a shoe issue (yup, scrunched inserts again - must be summer). Wow - no idea what happened here, but those first 3 pace miles almost killed me - I had a hard enough time getting it to 7:45 much less 7:30 pace.... Next, survived and feeling a bit more confident.
