Today was a perfect day for a run! I got out the door a little later than I wanted to start my run. But that was ok today. The air was thin, there was a slight breeze and although it was in the 70's when I ended my run, it felt perfect!

My goal was to do a 7 mile tempo run today. 2 mile warm-up, 3 miles fast, 2 miles warm down.
When it was time to pick up the pace my legs kept protesting. So after a half mile of going faster, I dialed the speed back down to my happy pace. I just enjoyed all the people on the trail today and the cool breeze on my face. Honestly my legs did not feel great but I still really enjoyed this run!
Overall pace for 7 miles: 8:34min/mile in 1 hour exactly. Really 1:00:00? Too funny to hit it 1 hour perfectly. I had to take a pic...
It was so beautiful on the monon trail that after a quick shower I took the kids back to the trail. Kaitlyn and Jackson rode their bikes while I got another 2 miles of walking in while pushing Nathan in the stroller. Love these summer days!

You still have a babysitter on your days off? Oh my I am jealous of you now. We went to the pool today. Still have not done my run but only have to do 3 miles. I need to stop reading your blog b/c it makes me feel like I am never doing enough...
ReplyDeleteHave you read Born to Run. Reading it now. You would like it.
She comes 4 days/week. So we do overlap 1.5 days. I do feel spoiled! I may do a few more miles than you but I can't keep up with your pace. I tried to go fast today, but my legs would not let me. They like to go long but not fast. Yes, I loved Born to Run!
