Today's workout was my distance run. I am trying to break through 5 miles, having broken 4 miles during last weekend's DC Capital Striders 8K race in Georgetown (sunset run).
Today's run started in Zone 3, which is conversational pace and maintained that pace for the first 2.5 miles. After that, the course which was flat became an up and down course.
After deciding to attack the hills, I literally melted at around 4 miles and, based upon my heart rate monitor, had to stop after 4.8 miles. My heart rate was off the scale and the heat had already gotten to me.
So, another distance run that fell short of my goal. Hmmm. Can't wait until I am fit enough to go 10 miles at conversational pace. Guess I've got to be patient. I am grateful for the time I have running...at least my body is lasting.
Until next time.
