First long run of significance since Boston. Temps in the mid 70s with moderate humidity. 15.5 miles in 1:56:09 (7:29s). First 9 miles progressive building to the last 3 miles or so at MGP. Immediately switched into 6.5 miles coasting in the 7:30 range. At mile 13 or so I was thinking of just heading home and calling 13.5, but I forced myself to turn on a route that would add an extra .5, during the course of that turn I determined that I could gut it out to my originally planned 15 miles and even got an extra .5 on top of that. Route was fairly rolling hills. Splits as follows:
8:13, 7:43, 7:37, 7:31, 7:37, 7:02, 6:44, 6:42, 7:51, 7:39, 7:32, 7:37, 7:35, 7:28, 3:48 (.5 -- 7:40). |
