Easy run. I ate shortly before going out, and felt heavy and sluggish as a result. It's tough for me to balance eating and running in the evening. Maybe I should go back to just having a Powerbar before my run - it seems to sit best without giving me the heavy bloated feeling.
I plodded through the first loop of Regents Park, Garmin still dead (only watch function), but it felt like I was doing over 9 min. pace. Legs felt tired. Thought of doing just 1 mile of the second loop and turning back, but when I got to the turn-around point, decided to keep going for a full second loop. My mileage has been so dismal lately, I might as well try to keep it up as high as I can. I started feeling a little better on the second loop and my pace quickened as well.
Total time: 1:03:29 (8:56 pace). |
