All Black 16.5 Felt much better this week vs last week.. Started a bit quick with early miles but settled into an easy pace. Storms came through bright and early before the run.. wasnt sure if we were going to get it in or not. Humid as normal. Forgot to restart Garmin leaving one of the sags. Splits (8:28, 7:57, 7:38, 7:48, 8:05, 8:05, 8:16, 8:37, 8:30, 8:49, 8:34, 8:30, 8:47, 8:26, 9:01, 9:02) Slim pickings in the back of the pack All Black.. ran with a group of 3 other people which was nice. Sadly im one of the few slow ones still running with black. Once the humidity breaks.. I will start running the long runs a bit quicker.. right at sub 8 but right now I like my pacing on these runs. There are lots of heros who think they are badasses and run too fast in July & August only to blow up on race day. I continue to stick by my goal of getting to the start line healthy. If that means plodding along during these humid runs then so be it.
