I didn't get to run yesterday, because I spent my afternoon at a Tequila tasting, YUM! I DID run today though, six miles and it HURT. I'm not sure if it's because I was dehydrated from drinking too much tequila, or if it was the hills on mile 4, but it was definitely a hard run for me today. I mapped out a 6.2 miler (a 10K) on a route I hadn't run before. Unfortunately mile 4 was ALL up hill, so that slowed my pace a little bit. I ran the first two miles in 8:45, and came in at the three mile mark under 27:00. Mile 4 was a bust, and it took me almost 10 minutes, but I was able to pick up the pace for miles 5 and 6, and finished the whole run in under 56:00. I definitely didn't feel as good as I did on my 8 mile run last week, but that happens sometimes on runs. It can be related to what you ate, the weather, your mentality, the sleep you got. It could be a million different reasons, but the main thing is that I finished it in a reasonable amount of time, and I felt great for the rest of the day!!
All of this running has been going well, and other than some sore quads last week I've been fortunate enough to not have injuries plaguing me at this point. The problem is, I haven't been spinning as much since the weather is nicer... so hard to get motivated to workout inside!! I need to get my bike tuned up, and some air in the tires before I start riding it outside. Hopefully I can make that happen this week!!
Looking forward to more nice weather and a 10 miler later this week. Wednesday maybe?
