Last night's 10 miler...

One of the new training ideas I will be incorporating into my new training will be to increase the pace of my runs. I run with a heart rate monitor, so I will try to keep my runs in the aerobic range.

So last night my goal was 10 miles at a little under 8:00/mile pace. I ran with Sullivan last night. We started out at about 90 degrees with very humid conditions. You couldn't even see the Minneapolis skyline, it was so hazy. Once we got onto Lake Harriet I started to feel very confortable and the third mile was my fastest. The skies were fairly ominous and at mile 5 the sky opened up. It was a nice refreshing rain that cooled us down and the temp dropped to around 75. I felt really good throughout the run and I'm semi-looking forward to tonight's 14 miler.

1-8.06/130 2-8.06/144 3-7.47/146 4-8.05/145 5-7.51/151 6-7.51/146 7-7.58/147 8-8.02/146 9-8.13/145 10-7.40/152
