I woke up right on time, had a nice breakfast then watched some TV while I let my toast and oatmeal settle. Nothing worse then the side-stiches that come while digesting on the run (literally.) At 11:23am I set out. It was good weather, the sun was starting to come out, but it was still staying cool. My first three miles were effortless, then I had a bit of trouble in mile four but worked through it. Mile five my pace dropped back to my starting pace, which I was very happy about. The final five miles were tough, but I held a steady 10:30min/mile pace through them. This was probably my best long run to date!
Mile Splits
Mile 1 - 8:17 (too fast)
Mile 2 - 9:14
Mile 3 - 9:22
Mile 4 - 10:50
Mile 5 - 9:28
Mile 6 - 10:33
Mile 7 - 10:26
Mile 8 - 10:28
Mile 9 - 10:17
Mile 10 - 10:36
10-10.19 - 3:10 (16:35/mi had I finished walking it out)
Total - 1:42:45 - 10:04min/mi
My pacing is defiantly getting better, I still need to work on the first few miles though.
