Went for my long run on Sunday and felt pretty good. However my plan said to do 5 miles, but I wound up only tracking about 4.7 mi. I went to the local park with my little guy for my run. This is the park that has a paved loop where one side starts out really steep with an incline for a mile and the other starts out even. I figure this time I'll start out on the more level side of the loop and see how it goes. Mind you I also walked with Nate in the stroller to and from church that morning so I already had a little workout that day.
I started out pretty good, pace was less than 10min/mine which was shocking to me. Then I hit the hills and I was able to jog up most of them. I still took my little breaks here and there. With the hills and the breaks I was managing around 12min/mi which is where I wanted to be.
I figured I'd run 2.5 out and 2.5 back to get my 5 miles. I was getting pretty worn out from pushing the stroller up the hills. It felt like it weighed a ton. I could tell from my GPS app that I was ahead of the mile markers on the road so I decided to turn around early since I was getting pretty tired. I probably would have been fine, but I saw someone I use to know and stopped to talk to her. While we were walking and talking I turned off the GPS so that's where I lost the .3 miles. I figure that's OK because that does include the walk this morning or the walk to and from the car. I was annoyed with myself though because I turned around early. I'm only human and I need to learn not to be so critical of myself.
Next run tonight, just a little 3 miles around the neighborhood. Thursday I do a round of speed work so that should be interesting. Until then....
