I tried to make up for not running yesterday. I was able to go out on the road and test my foot. It felt great. Didn't have any pain. I wasn't for sure what I was going to run, I thought I would see how I felt. I ran the first mile in a 9:06 which felt good so I decided to push the pace. The next two miles were 8:30 and 8:23. I was real tired after the 8:23. Took a small break to see what my 3 mile time was. Just over 26 minutes. I felt pretty good about it. Still wish I had broke the 26 minute mark. Took off for the last mile. Again, I thought I would just run what felt good. I started out just about around 9:00 and felt very comfortable. I then saw a little girl in my Primary class so I stopped and talked to her. I decided when I started to run again (I had about 1/2 mile to go) I was going to try and keep the time down aroud an 8:00 or below. I ended up finishing the mile in 8:42, which felt good. I know I couldn't have done the time if I had not taken the two breaks I did. I need to start increasing my speed and being able to hold it for longer miles.
After the run I went and did some strength and stretching. |
