Last night, I had beef pho, Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, and some ice cream for dinner. I stayed up until 1:30AM reading a Flavia de Luce mystery. I woke up around 8-8:30AM, made 1/2 cup of oatmeal with a banana, chocolate chips, and a spoonful of peanut butter, and read more of the mystery. Finally, two hours later, I discussed with my boy where I would be running (downhill, then two flat loops around Haines Point, and uphilll). Wearing: just-over-the-knee capris, long sleeved tech tee, short sleeved tech tee, gloves, ear band, socks, shoes. Gear: Garmin watch + HR monitor, 1 gel Weather: low 40's, overcast, not too much wind The run went well. I just wanted to do an easy 20 miles for my last really long run for Boston. The first part was downhill, similar to Boston's course. Haines Point was flat. I picked it up a little (to 7:30-ish/mile pace) on the second lap (miles 10-13) and tried to maintain that for the rest of my run. I focused on ABCC: arm position, breathing, cadence, and cranium. I took a gel to test logistics around mile 15. Splits: 8:00, (begin downhill) 7:14, 6:39 (end downhill), 7:30, 7:35, 7:48, (reached Haines Point) 7:49, 7:37, 7:44, 7:39 (finish first lap), (begin second lap) 7:27, 7:30, 7:30, 7:33, 7:38, 7:32, 7:34, (begin uphill) 7:50, 7:48 (end uphill), 7:16, 49 seconds for last 0.12mi 20.12 miles in 2:32:14.46 (Average pace of 7:34/mile) Average HR of 158 bpm |
