Another recovery run done! I got up at 5 AM and got to the park by 6:20 AM. Even though it was only a 6-mile run, the high today is supposed to be 93 F, so I wanted to get an early start and get done before it started to get hot. I was actually kind of cold for my first mile or so—it was around 60 F when I started, but I wore my shorts and short-sleeved tee-shirt, because I knew it would get hotter soon enough. As soon as the sun came over the horizon, it warmed up.
I thought I would be able to go faster today, since I was running in mostly cool-ish weather, but I still ended up doing just over 16 minute miles. Hm. When I did my first 6-mile training run last spring, I did 15-minute miles. I was just looking at my old entries to try to see what the difference was. For one thing, it was cool all day so I didn't start until 10:30 AM, and I had a cool breeze all throughout my run. So that probably helped. Oh well, 16-minute miles are fine, too. Just getting the training done is the important thing!
