Due to procrastination I had to run this in the dark and 10-20 mph winds. I was challenged by Caleb M.'s article on the dailymile blog about running for time. I ran 16 in 2:23 on Monday, and I want to run a 4:00 marathon. So according to the blog, I need to train myself to run for 4:00. I shouldn't be too concerned with the distance, just the time on my feet. So today, my goal was 2:50 minutes on the road. Well old habits are hard to break, and I was watching my pace as well. I kept the miles under 9:00 for the most part until the last 3 miles. Then I slipped up to 9:09 for a couple. My last mile was truly just time on my feet. Slower than the others, but it helped my round out my time. I did tack on one more minute to even out the mile. 38*, 10-20 mph winds, new longest training run, and new longest training week (and I only got 3 runs in). Over all felt pretty good. The winds helped to distract me from how my legs were feeling. Tomorrow is a rest day. I hope you all have a great Sabbath.
