6 med turns to 3 speed
I had planned on running 6 miles at a medium pace at the local high school. Although it’s easier for me just to go outside my door and start running, I figured my knees would appreciate running on the softer track. Since I was there I decided to re-calibrate my Nike+.
After I had done so, I started my run. After 3 laps I noticed I was running at an 8 min/mile pace. But it didn’t feel like I was pushing to keep it up. So instead of lowering my pace, I just let my body move. It wasn’t until 2.5 miles that my body wanted to slow down the pace. But by then I was so close to finishing the 3rd mile, that I decided to push it. I completed final laps with at total time of 23:47 for 3 miles (7:55 min/mile). Not bad.
Sometimes I just hit days like this where all the pistons are firing, all the joints are properly lubricated, the tank is full and the motor is just begging to be opened up. And sometime you have to listen to your body and just play. After all, isn’t this suppose to be fun?
