Supposed to be easy, but it felt quite tough in the wind this afternoon. Ran for just over 50 minutes and covered 7 and a bit miles, taking my total for the week 43 and putting me within 19 miles of hitting the magic 2000 miles for 2008.
Splits: 7:59, 7:11, 6:42, 7:30, 7:21, 7:13, 7:12
For the record:
Distance: 7.16 miles
Time: 52:18
Pace: 7:18 per mile
Still suffering with a bit of a sore throat and to be honest I’m not firing on all cylinders at the moment either. I’m sure it will pass in a few days, but for now I’m still plugging away and sticking to the plan.
I had to take almost the entire week off. I ran on Wednesday, but I shouldn’t have. Today is the first day that I felt well enough to run and didn’t feel like running was going to set me back a few more days. Spending a few days sleeping for 10-15 hours seemed the wiser course.
Good luck getting better; hopefully you wake up and everything is hunky dory again.
