Saturday Long run..I've started tapering...alone
The SDTC RNR Boston Training Group heading out for 18 miles
Plan: 16 miles
Actual: 15.1 miles @ 7:37/mile
Conditions: cool and nice. Was actually raining last evening, but we stayed dry
Morning weight/sleep: 7 hours mixed sleep. was tired when I woke up
Stretching today: trigger point before/after run
How it felt: I ran this with Jim Goss. We took about 30 seconds/mile faster than the group (above) who we never saw again. Neither of us had any intention of going up the long hill. Jim was (like everybody) doing better than I was. We ran along the waterfront and talked and stayed around 7:50/mile. My HR was low. I did not feel fresh though. It's a strange feeling. Tired legs, but the cardio system was OK. Even throwing in a couple miles at MP (7:00) my HR never went over 140 average.
