I don't understand how on some days on the treadmill my 7:47 pace seems quicker than others. Looking in the mirror it looks as though my stride is the same, but some days it just seems my legs are moving faster than others.
Fortunately today was one in which things were moving in slow motion. I kept my 7:47 pace for the entire 4 miles and felt pretty good. I wanted to get in a run/trip to the gym yesterday but work got in the way. After the new year I hope to start getting in weekday runs in the AM. It also seems on mornings where I don't have surgery, but still put my run off to the afternoon, some trauma case comes in that keeps me from running that night.
So far I feel comfortable with my progress. I said from the beginning I hoped to be able to run 6 miles by the end of December to give me a good jumping off point for the start of our half marathon training. To reach that I'll need to only add 1 mile in the month of December. Shouldn't be too difficult, my only concern is the erratic schedule the holidays provide.
Hope everyone enjoys there Thanksgiving, I'll be taking the day off from running, but look to sweat out some gravy on Black Friday.
