great Best Laid Plans 12 mi 01:39 08:17 pace

Sweet lower humidity! Temps felt awesome this morning when I started this run, so I'll go ahead & put the blame there for the reason I didn't follow my plan exactly. Plan was 12 mile @ MP with every other mile 10-20 sec. faster. My "dream" MP would be 8:45 so I went with that. Plan was to meet Deb M. , Jamison at the bike trail in Alex. My husband decided he would go also. We got there & Carrie & her husband were there...so we had a nice little group. Carrie kinda took the reins & decided to help me pace. Problem is we never hit my MP...the entire run. Everything just felt too good & I had some really good music going!! Next time I do this run, I will do by myself & try to be more disciplined because I do not want to injure myself. We did alternate the miles by going fast one mile & slowing down to what I thought was MP the other mile. So, in that respect, I followed the plan. By mile 10 though I really felt like seeing how fast I could run 12 in...so we really picked up the pace. Splits: 8:40, 8:36, 8:28, 8:37 (this is me TRYING to hit 8:45 ha!), 8:18, 8:36, 8:19, 8:29, 8:00, 8:27 (last attempt at 8:45)...ah forget it...7:50, 7:14! Got some great advice from Carrie's husband John on my training, so I'll call this run a success.
