More PR's and Another 5 Miles

Yet, another new PR set on our run today! We both felt pretty good during this run, after we got warmed up. We actually got to get out and do our run earlier than we normally do on a Monday, so that was nice. We started our run around 3:15 pm or so. The temperature and humidity wasn’t too bad. It was 78 degrees with 61 percent humidity, but the sun was horrible. It was way too hot in the sun, but we made the best of it. I would say it was probably 85 degrees in the sun, but definitely not the hottest weather we have run in this summer. I think we were just getting spoiled with the cooler weather we had been having. We were hoping it was here to stay and fall was on its way.

We probably could have run it faster, if we would have gone out first thing this morning, but we both wanted one day this weekend to sleep in! ;) Despite the fact that it was hot in the sun during our run, we still set a new 1 mile PR the last mile of our run. Crazy! It felt pretty good too, considering the hot sun was on us. We did have a nice breeze most of this last mile!

Here is a breakdown of the splits for today’s run:

Mile 1: 11:20:52
Mile 2: 10:58:57
Mile 3: 11:12:53
Mile 4: 10:33:66
Mile 5: 9:26:16

And we finished the last 2 miles in just over 20 minutes, which is also a new PR for us. Our previous was 21 minutes and we finished these last 2 miles in 20:41!
We finished today’s 5 mile run in 53:31:41, which is a 10:42 minute per mile pace. This is basically what we ran it in on Thursday, just a little bit quicker this time. Overall, good run and some new PR’s to boost!

Today's run summary:

Miles---5
Time---53:31:44
Cool Down---16:30:16
Total Time---1:10:00
Total Calories---959

Total Miles Run---205

Next run: Tuesday, September 7---8 miles!

Thanks for following our journey!
