I know, today isn’t Thursday. We decided to push yesterday’s run to this morning because it was just so hot and humid yesterday afternoon, and we didn’t want to wait until 6:00 pm or so to start our run. We are so glad that we switched our run days around. Although maybe tomorrow morning we won’t, since we have 16 miles to run again this Saturday.
It was another good run, despite the fact that I had a slight stitch in my side most of the run…again! Not sure why I am getting these stitches, but I am really hydrating today, in the hopes that it won’t be there tomorrow for our long run.
This morning’s run felt good. The temperature was around 75 degrees at 9:30 am. I am not sure about the humidity, since I forgot to check before I left this morning. I would say it was around 64% or so. The best part was that it was very overcast for the entire run. This definitely makes it much cooler than running in the hot sun for 5 miles.
Today’s 5 mile run was done on base around the parade field, since Rob had to go into work this morning. I just met him over there and we got our run in! We took it easy on today’s run because our long run awaits us tomorrow morning; however, we still ended up running under an 11 minute per mile pace. We thought we were running a little slower than that even. Guess not!
We finished today’s 5 mile run in 54:06:48, which is a 10:49 minute per mile pace. Overall, a pretty good run in some weather that is starting to feel like September. We know this “cool” weather is not going to last very long, so we are enjoying while it is here!
