Total Distance

6.00

Didn't have time for the 7 that I wanted to run. Time was a little tight so I cut the run a little short and ran 6. I didn't have any focus. Every time I tried to pick up the pace I found my mind wondering and pace slowed down a few minutes later. Fighting the wind was fun too. It wasn't anything like the wind up north, but I still had to fight it. Average pace 8:50. 12 on Saturday.

Mizuno (I Forget) Miles: 6.00

Your wild winds are making the news out here. Hope Saturday is good long run for you. Bring some whipped cream for the end!

Nice job outside! I think why you were slower today is why I can't run a decent pace outside. I just get sidetracked and relax whereas the TM doesn't allow it. I need to start running better outdoor paces. Enjoy Saturday! Looks like I'll be squeezing in 13 between about 5 different things.

Those wicked winds didn't happen here in Lehi. Those were all 40 to 50 miles to the north. The wind I ran in was a barely noticeable breeze compared to the tree ripper they had up there. The downside to some whipped cream is there is no more thanksgiving pie left. It's a very sad day when the Thanksgiving pie runs out.

RAD, I think winter arrived this week. I don't know if the shorts will come out until February or March so treadmill weather has arrived. I should get my treadmill fixed so when I wimp out I can still run. But, I was running a lot on a treadmill several years ago and I found that I was getting faster on the treadmill and slower outside. I think there is more than just focus that causes slower outdoor paces when running exclusively on a treadmill. And I'm sure you'll fit in your 13. You always find time to run.

My pace would slow if I let my mind drift too. It's ok! Glad you got out and able to squeeze a run in. Good job!

Thanks Smooth. You're right, sometimes just getting out is enough.
