The run was especially beautiful today. It was sunny and windy, and the horizon to the west was really dark and rainy. I dont think I have said it before, but my favorite weather is when its really warm, yet dark and windy.....dont ask why :) Most of the run was sunny until the end when the clouds finally moved in and it started sprinkling:
Okay, this looks much darker than it was
I was planning on running slowly but I felt great. My 10:00 mile pace quickly moved down to a 9:30/mile pace. This was the first longer run that was well under 10:00 miles! At the end of the run I could have kept going and was averaging 9:27/mile for all of the 9 miles! Here's hoping to a good time for the Mercer Half next week!!

ReplyDeleteGreat pic!!! Good luck at your race!
ReplyDeleteGood work!! We are going to do lunch after Mercer to celebrate Amanda at 5 Miles to Empty email me if you are interested. Will be fun to meet you!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in Mercer Island. I will also be there. Never had run it before but I had run Seattle, so I am encouraged by your comment that it doesn't have the killer hills Seattle has... though I saw the elevation profile and Mercer Isl. looks a little bit scary to me!!!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like dark skies... as long as it doesn't pour rain on me!
ReplyDeleteGREAT job on the run & quick pace!
