Today felt great. It felt good to run in the morning and to be running at Wirth. And 6×400 seemed manageable.\u00a0 But, it was dark! Yikes.\u00a0 Having not run at 5:30 recently I didn’t realize that it had gotten to be time for the darkness to be on my running. Another sign of summer ending would be early morning dark runs again.\u00a0 At least it was daylight midway through the run. I am definitely not ready for running the whole run in the dark.\u00a0 I might need a new headband and it was a little loose and flopped around a little while running.<\/p>\n
6×400 with 3 minutes rest in between wasn’t easy, but after the longer runs it felt good to get back to something shorter.<\/p>\n
The splits were:<\/p>\n
2:10<\/p>\n
2:29<\/p>\n
2:04<\/p>\n
2:03<\/p>\n
1:53<\/p>\n
1:58<\/p>\n
My total was 4.54 miles in 48:42.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m satisfied with that.\u00a0 It seems to be in line with how I’ve been running.\u00a0 I didn’t get lost, but in the dark I ended up on a trail I hadn’t meant to get on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
