Another day, another run.
I have been away from the blog for a little while but that doesn't mean I haven't been training. I have run twice on the treadmill since my last post. The first run was a few days back. I ran 4 miles at a slightly elevated speed than my normal run. I was happy with this due to the fact i was only shooting for 3.5 when i started.
Last night just before bed I mustered up the motivation to run again. I kind of got into the album i was listening too and ran faster than i had planned. I ended up running a little less than half my full distance of 4.3 miles at a speed of 8 MPH. But then that always lurking pain in my knee started to show up so I slowed it back down and finished out my run the slow (6.5) and steady way.
I think that is the biggest challenge for me when I run indoors. Keeping my pace. I am always playing little number games in my head and just want to get my distance over with faster. Probably out of boredom. When I run outside I dont do this as much. Sure I push myself, sometimes a little too hard. But it's just not the same. So here hoping for some warmer days in the near future!
285 days until the Detroit Marathon and I am still going strong!
Mileage in 2013: 11.85
