Tried a new location. Ran along the plowed fields behind B.V. school. Very beautiful back there but one problem: puddles of water. It was sunny out and clear skies so I could see Mt. Rainier perfectly. A few people walking their dogs out there. A full loop is about 2 miles so I love the distance on the grassy trail. But to be honest the puddles of water really sucked! I got my socks and shoes just soaking wet and muddy. I just have to watch the weather and not go on days that it rains the day before. Summer time would be perfect to run back here!!!
Felt tired and sore from snowboarding. Felt like my pace were slower. I think it was also slower trying to dodge the puddles of water and slightly uneven surfact/grassy, harder to run on but better for knees! Was bummed I didn't do 5 miles where I should have been. I as switching my long runs to middle of the week. So my mileage should be semi high on Sundays but not my longest run.
TT: 42:10 min. Cal: 423 Avg mile: 9:21 min Max: 7:15 min
Paces: 8:54, 9:17, 9:32, 9:33, 9:36 Not happy with my times getting slower:(
It was just a hard run for me today even though another goregous day. |
