51:13 - 9:28 pace
This run went about as I expected I guess. Still pretty darn tired from fighting off this cold, but I'm feeling a little better today so I took Steve's advice and did 5 instead of 10. My pace could best be described as an 'easy lope'. I felt like one of those slow joggers in 'Once A Runner' that Cassidy has to run around and thinks about how they are in an almost totally different class/world than him. Speaking of which, I read a part the other night about how when you run in the rain you're getting a step up on your competitors while they're inside relaxing and being wusses...sounded vaguely like something Luke told me while we were running in the rain in Eugene! I thought that was funny. Well played Luke.

nice. just so you know, i run near that pace (9:20-9:30) a fair amount..
ReplyDeleteYeah I know you do, but you also run like twice the amount of miles that I do. Plus you do good stuff like those interval workouts with the Flyers. Anyway, don't worry I wasn't taking a dig at you ;). Just bummed this cold is keeping me from being properly prepared for this race next weekend.
