First few miles were slow. I learned a valuable lesson, to not run right after eating chicken strips and fries. After I got through the first couple of miles I felt good and got my pace up to 9:05 and then even got a couple of miles at 8:36 which I was happy with. I have backed off a bit on trying to increase my pace faster then I should, I got a couple of days where I felt I was over doing it, I still have 16 weeks until my race so I have decided to not push myself too much.
I also decided tonight that if I could approach everything in life as I approach mile 3 through 10, I would be very successful. |
