today was my second try at my new 6 mile pr course. i decided not to look at the time i ran last time, since it was quite a while ago. it went okay, but my legs felt pretty dead from the get-go. not terrible, just like i was having a hard time getting my knees up so my stride felt really short and wimpy. i vaguely wanted to run faster than 42:00, but as i was finishing up and my legs felt very "meh" i decided i'd be okay with under 43:00. i was pumped to find out that i'd run 42:05 until i looked back and saw that last time i did this, i actually ran 42:01. bummer. next time, i definitely need to break 42.
still, 5.9, or whatever the mileage actually is, in 42:05 is not bad. last time i said that i ran 7:07 pace, so this was probably around 7:08.
since i've already gotten my two workouts in for the week and it's only wednesday...unheard of for me... my plan is to go easy milage for the rest of the week and to prioritize getting in my long run since it has been a couple of weeks since i have done one. maybe i can even do that on friday to make sure it gets done before we leave for nationals.
