Today I decided to add time to my jog and see how far I
could go. I added 5 minutes making my
total jog time 35 Minutes. I felt a
little better than I did yesterday so I also assumed that I would be able to
set a good pace.
I started out strong with Run Keeper announcing that I
was setting a 13:59 pace. My legs were
bothering me and my body started feeling worn out and I was only 5 minutes
in. No matter I was going to jog longer
so certainly I could slow a little.
Run Keeper announced at 10 minutes that my pace has
slowed to 14:22 and I was starting to jog up hill. I became increasingly tired. I pushed myself and kept going
15 minutes in I had slowed considerably, Run Keeper
announced that I was at 14:56 pace. At
this point my legs felt like I was running waste deep in mud.
At 20 minutes Run Keeper let me know that my pace had
slowed to 15:18, I was now jogging at a walking pace. I forced myself to sprint trying to gain back
some time and it worked. The next
announcement at 25 minutes had let me know I was at 15:03.
I have no idea why it was so hard to run today. My legs felt like jello. When 30 minutes rolled around I was back
under 15 minutes at an average pace of 14:59.
I thought I sped up but when 35 minutes hit I was at an amazing 15
minutes even.
