5 miles on the JRP. Slow again, not in effort. I think just a few extra miles a week is putting my body to work on endurance and taking it away from speed. Or maybe I'm just getting old because my legs are a little tired. Also my Garmin ROBBED me. I was at 8:33 pace on my 5th mile with 1/3 to go so I sped up to get under 8:30. I'm sure I was at that pace and approaching the end. I waited for my watch to beep but it didn't. I passed the end of my run, kept running and looked at my watch. It said I still had .04 miles to go and an average pace on that mile of 9:10! I think my actual average pace for the entire run was around 8:55 or so. |
