Today was the 60-minute run. I can't say I was looking forward to it, but I got into it pretty quick. I planned on doing an slow, easy run, so I only plotted out a 5 mile course since on the treadmill my slow easy runs are ~11:30 pace. Apparently my slow, easy runs outside are closer to a 10-minute pace because I ended up finishing 5.7 miles.
Muscles were feeling it towards the end, and in the last 10-minutes my knee (previously injured skiing) was NOT happy. A little bit of swelling, but tomorrow is a rest day, so that should help it out a bit.
Running weather: 35 F and mostly sunny. |
