20 slow miles. 30 degrees. 27 mph winds. 17 degree wind chill. Miserable. I need to adjust my nutrition and increase my water intake. I was definitely dehydrated today. I stopped sweating near the end of the run. I also need to increase my mileage in the middle of the week. I have no clue how I went from running comfortable 7:15-7:30 pace for long runs to 7:56 average pace...and hurting (started out a little fast, maybe?). Embarrassing, but here is the breakdown: 8:15, 7:32, 7:28, 7:10, 7:10, 7:10, 7:27, 7:25, 7:33, 7:51, at this point, I said farewell to Jack, took my 100 kcal gel, and turned back home...now into the wind... 8:10, 8:14, 8:17, 8:07, 8:33, 8:21, 8:31, 9:07 (Rosslyn hill), 8:25, 7:46 |
