I did my long run for the week today. It was only 13 miles since this is a stepback week for me. My long run last week was 14 and I felt great. I don't remember what my pace was but I was happy with it. I know why I struggled through the run today. I was tired. I barely slept last night. J has had a rough couple of days with his allergies and last night was terrible, resulting in a sleepness night for mama! I took the day off today but still shipped the kids out this morning. My mom watches the boys while I work so she took L this morning and I dropped J off at school. I went home to sleep but it was not happening so I figured I would run. I struggled through the entire 13 miles and almost quit several times.
I logged my run and my pace was about 25 seconds per mile faster than my pace for last week's run. That does not make sense to me. I also ran the last half of the 13 about a minute faster. Again, that does not make sense to me.
Who knows!! I am just happy to have my long run out of the way for the week! We are heading to the beach for the last weekend of the season. I don't have to worry about fitting 13 miles in down there!
This is a very nice post, so informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing such a great post.
