June 17, 2011

Distance: 5 miles
Time: 42:30
Pace: 8:30
Path: FF to Joyner park and back. Hilly course. Good.
Felt: Very good. Nice slow pace. My best 1/2 marathon time, 1:27, was after doing MOST of my training with Melissa at a slower pace than I usually do on my own. I think my easier runs need to be at a slower pace like this, especially for endurance's sake.

Amount of sleep: about 7 hrs
Start time: 5:30am
Weather: 60s/70s, nice

Shoes: Asics GT 2150, only have about 20 miles on them so far. Should last until the 1/2 marathon in November.

Other notes:
Will need to purchase some trail running shoes in the next couple of months. I need to find a good pair that will fit and not rub blisters on my weird heels. I have only had one that I could use: Keen Wasatch cross training shoes. They were bulky/heavy, but worked. I finished 9th in the Bel Monte Endurance Run with those shoes. If I could find some like those that are a little lighter it would be ideal.
