I did not want to wake up this morning, I am still suffering from a cold and it has really zapped my energy, I didn't want to go, but I got out of bed and put on my gear and headed out the door... My legs were weak and rubbery and I was questioning my reason for even being out there, the first 3 miles were preatty tough, but then on the way back I kind of decided to try and do a negitive split and so I tryed to pick it up. My splits went as follows; 8:58(130), 8:43(136), 9:11(139)that mile had a 200 meter hill, fairly steep, 8:31(136), 8:37(140), 7:16(156).
That last mile was a good way to finish, I noticed up a head of me there were these two runners, a husband and a wife, the wife had seperated herself from the husband by about 200 meters so I had just over a mile togo and I thought lets try and take them. I was able to over take the husband just before I had a 1/2mile to go and the wife was clipping along at a pretty good pace so I knew this was going to be close, I felt like if I kept the same pace that I would overtake her with about 100 meters left to go before I reached my house, that is if she doesn't speed up on me unexpectedly... But she didn't and I was able to overtake her like I said, that last mile I was huffing and puffing pretty good, that tells me that I have a bit of a ways to go before I am back to where I was before the injury. But it was good to feel what that pace feels like again even if I was alittle out of my comfort zone, My average pace was, 8:34 with my heart rate average at 139, that is real surprising with the cold I am fighting I thought that would be alot higher. Total time was 51:40, well that is about it I will see ya tomorrow, I hope I am feeling better but I am not counting on it!
