I couldn't have asked for a better day to run! The weather was fantastic. There was a bit of wind but it ended up being appreciated as I got going. I ran the levee in Chattanooga and I didn't knwo how far it was. Sadly it was only 3 miles long. So I had to run down a major road for a couple of miles and then turn around. I got back to Camp Jordan at only 9.5 miles and had to run the loop. It was annoying, but now I know!
I am very happy with my second split. I was just sick of running so I picked up the pace. I kept being surprised that I kept the pace up. At mile 11 I wanted to stop and I thought I slowed down, but I did not and ended up with my last mile being my fastest. It felt really good. In two weeks I will run my first half marathon distance and that will give me a better idea where my marathon pace will be.
In the morning before church I had:
2 pancakes
2 sausage patties
1 grilled eg
2 cups of coffee
Right before the run I had:
Grilled chipotle wrap (disgusting)
Bottle of water
GU Roctane gels
During the run I had:
1 Frost Ice Gatorade
2 GU Roctane gels
I will definitely forgo the sausage patties on race day. Those are never a smart idea. Thankfully I won't have to worry about shoving in a lunch prior to running. I felt good. I didn't get shaky or dehydrated.
I had great gps service and got to track my run and listen to music the entire time. I listened to everything from slow easy listening to dubstep. My right hand went to sleep. I think it was due to my polar watch being too tight and my phone arm band. It was annoying.
Pleased with this week! On to the next!
