Yesterday afternoon, I did the next race on my training schedule. It called for 7 miles: 3 miles at an easy pace, 1 mile at a moderate pace, and 3 miles at a hard/race pace. I did the first 3 miles at 5.8 mph, the middle mile at 6.0 mph, and the last 3 miles at 6.5 mph. This was not as bad as I was expecting it to be. I ran the first 20 minutes with only one break, and it felt pretty good. The last 3 miles were a lot harder, of course. The run took 1:08:45.
Today I had planned to practice outside with my tennis team, as we are having unusually warm weather. However, we ended up with an extra (fifth) player. Since I was the closet to home, I just came home and let them play.
I changed into running clothes and went down to Rock Creek Park to run on the trail. I ran 3.0 miles in about 30:30, which was about 5.9 mph. I wanted this to be pretty easy, since I had just run yesterday.
