Today's run was one mile pick-ups. Basically, I started at a 10:15 + pace, then picked up the pace by 15 seconds each mile. Looking at my training plan, I realized I had to run 6 miles plus a 1 mile cool-down. Perfect! My community has a 7 mile loop around a lake. I even wrote a list of the goal pace for each mile on the palm of my hand. It was around mile 3 when I realized that there were actually only paces for FIVE miles written on my hand, somehow or another I counted the cool-down as a training mile. *sigh* So much for a loop. I turned around and headed back to my truck.
I really struggled with the early miles of this run, as I tend to be the type of runner who runs the first coupe of miles WAY too fast. Negative splits are going to be a hard lesson for me to learn. 6.25 miles, 9:52 min/mi.
