Slog

Today's run was a slog. I was wondering why today felt so rough compared to yesterday and I couldn't wait to get to the Y and finish. My legs felt heavy and I was really having to push hard. Then I looked at my watch. I'd run the 7 miles at not far off 6:20 pace. When the first mile is 6:40 I'm bound to be setting myself up for a hard run at my current fitness level! So learn from that and slow back down! The humidity kicked my butt too. I ran mid morning compared to the usual 6am and it makes such a difference.
