longer long run that I wanted

| So, I found this really cool wooded road to run down for part of my long run. I used the mapping feature to figure out how to run there and which road to turn off to come bad and finish so that I do about 20. The problem occurred when I missed my turn! It wasn't so bad, but my 20 turned into 22 and a half. My pace started to slow at about 18ish, probably because psychologically I really thought it was going to be a LOT longer of a day. I had 30 in my mind for some reason. until I hit 18ish my pace was a comfortable 7:15, then dropped to about 7:30ish for the rest. I even had people on bikes ask me where they were- when I responded I had no idea where the hell I was(and I was on foot!) they must have thought I was crazy. It was a good day though- my long run pace is almost where I want it- I'm gonna try and take 15 more seconds off per mile in the next few weeks while increasing my 800 intervals to 1600 intervals and see where it gets me. Jacksonville, here I come! |
