This morning I did the next run on my training schedule, which was a 70-min easy run. I'm still in Grosse Pointe, so I ran down Lakeshore Drive, which goes along Lake St. Clair. It's pretty, and there's always a bit of a breeze off the lake. I ran 6.25 mi in 1:12:58, which gave an average speed of 5.14 mph. This is in line with the easy run speed I have been doing on the treadmill, so that was good.
I might finally be getting the point behind the really easy runs. It was such a beautiful morning today and such a nice setting, I felt like I could just keep running and running. The run wasn't killing me, like it sometimes feels like. I just hope that my speed really does increase like it's supposed to.
