Tonights workout was to start at the slow end of easy and work downwards towards the fast end of easy. My pace zones need to be adjusted down faster. I ran this workout based on feel.. excluding the last mile (which was too fast) this workout was pretty spot on for the goal at hand. The 7:47 mile 6 split actually felt very comfortable. My Sunday / Monday recoveries are doing their jobs and allowing me to be fresh on my legs for Tuesday. Ive felt totally awesome both times. 7.16 miles @ 7:55 pace (8:19, 8:16, 8:05, 7:59, 7:49, 7:47, 7:17) Very humid run. Dew point of 64. Felt great. Wish they would all come this easy. Im watching my weight very closely. Since MTT and my healthy eating have started.. Ive lost between 3 to 5 pounds. Im now starting to consume extra calories during the day. Its too early to be dropping pounds.
