Great morning for a run with 50 degrees and overcast. Took Tori to school and then went to the track(still trying to keep my legs fresh off the roads).
Felt sluggish the first lap or so. After the warmup mile did a quick stretch and then into 3 miles @ marathon pace and then one more at MP - 15 seconds. Had to slow down several times as my legs were ready to wheel. Had tons of energy. Still not sure I can hold 8 minute pace for 26.2 but am ready to find out on Saturday. Wore the wrong kind of shorts due to saving my other ones for the marathon and started chafing at mile 5. OUCH!
Mile splits HR avg 1 9:02 129 2 7:59 140 3 7:58 148 4 8:00 151 5 7:41 156 6 8:58 138 7 8:54 138 3 more tomorrow with my little brother Mikey.
