Day 206: Endurance (3 Miles)

With the legs well rested I decided that today would be more of an endurance test and since it may also be the last decent day I would run outside.  I have noticed that when I run with the stop watch and RunKeeper I have a tendency to try to keep up a pace that I cannot comfortable keep. 

With that in mind I ran without either.  I started the stop watch on my kitchen table and figured I would stop it when I walked back in.  I started my jog.

The sun was warm in the spots where it shone through the trees in the shade it was cool but not cold.  I was sweating pretty good a half mile in.

I did my standard three mile loop and it felt good.  My legs didn’t feel tired and as I walked back into the house I was surprised that I had kept such a hurried pace.  From start to finish took me 47 minutes.  Running while knowing I am constantly being timed and feeling tired must, for the most part, be purely a mental thing. 

Daily Recap:
Matt: 3 miles at around a 4 mile an hour pace.

Kelly: TBD
