10 Miler

I thought I would title this "Too weeks. Too Weak." As I went to do the scheduled 8.0 miles I was feeling like it would be difficult, but by mile 3 I finally warmed-up well enough. Then by mile 5 I was in the zone. I got to mile 6.55 and did some "Half of a Half!" celebration "raise-the-roofs" as I did it in 65:41. 

I did mile 1 at 6.4mph then miles 2-8 at 6.5mph, each mile walking .1 miles. So each mile was completed in 9:45. Leading into mile 8 I did Lap 2 at 6.7, then Lap 3 at 6.8, then Lap 4 at 7.1mph. I was feeling good and opted to keep going, mainly because I figured it was the one time pre-Half that I would run that much, and so I walked .1 then ran the rest of the mile at 6.5mph. Then I ran .25 at 6.5 then jogged .5 for a cool down at 5.5mph and walked the last .25 + .1 at 4.1mph. I did 9.5 miles in 89:05. And 10.0 in 99:14.

So I squeaked out a bonus 2 miles, which I should have done last week, and I felt good about it.

While running I played Brad Paisley's "The World" on loop for the last 3ish miles. It kept me in the zone. It was much better than what I experienced early on in the run - There was a motivating song which I learned was the thing keeping me running only once it ended and the 5 second pause felt unbearable and more like a 30 seconds-eternity. Each step felt


Most Motivating Songs:
Brad Paisley "The World"
Tim McGraw "How Bad Do You Want It?" - "How bad do you want it? How bad do you need it? Are you eatin', sleepin', dreamin' with that one thing on your mind?"
