We decided to run this morning instead of yesterday afternoon because it was warmer than we thought it was going to be. We got up at 5:40 am and got out to run by 6:20 am, once it got light out, since we don't have reflective running gear yet. We usually don't run when it is close to dark or dark, so didn’t think about buying any.
The run this morning was tough to get going, but after a couple of miles we both felt pretty good. Finished pretty strong, but overall time was a little slower than we normally run 5 miles. Still not a bad run considering we have never run this early in the morning and ran without food or hydrating all day. It was a little more humid than we would have liked, but definitely cooler than it would have been yesterday afternoon.
It was nice to be out running early though and to see the sun come up over the horizon. It was beautiful! We were supposed to run 8 miles this morning, but since we couldn't get out right at 6:00 am, we had to cut it to only 5 miles, so the hubby could get to work on time. We will run our 8 miles tomorrow instead.
Here are our splits for today's run:
Mile 1: 11:39:15
Mile 2: 11:09:15
Mile 3: 11:26:22
Mile 4: 10:40:52
Mile 5: 9:47:14
Not our best run time-wise, but we got the miles in and still finished the last mile in less than 10 minutes! We finished our 5 mile run in 54:42:18, which is a 10:56 pace.
Today's run summary:
