Wednesday I went out for my last run in the month of April. Heading into this run I had 66.1 miles under my belt, and I knew that I was going to break 70 miles in April. I got home from work and laced up my shoes, and out the door I went. As I was off I felt a sense of calm come over me. The miles were just ticking off, almost effortlessly. Before I knew it 3 miles had passed, only .9 miles to go before I broke 70! I was still feeling good so I kept on running. Another mile passed, and with that came a huge sense of satisfaction, that I ran so far in a month. I finished my route with another 2 miles and change. The total distance of the run came to 6.07 miles. The total time of the run was 57:16.
Todays mile splits were:
Mile 1 - 8:35
Mile 2 - 8:12
Mile 3 - 9:38
Mile 4 - 10:13
Mile 5 - 9:52
Mile 6 - 9:39
358ft (cool-down walk) - 1:04
At the end of the run I was feeling good, no lingering pain in my legs. During the run there was no pain. Well after the run there wasn't any pain. It feels great to run pain free! My mile splits were much more controlled this time around, I hope to be able to continue to hold a steady (for me at least) pace in my 11 mile run tomorrow. Until then, happy trails.
