Great 10-mile run Sunday

It was beautiful morning Sunday and a nice quiet time to get out for a 10-miler.

I felt pretty good this morning, although still feeling a little bit tight and sore from Friday's tough tempo run.

But after a fairly easy mile that served as a warmup, I ran the rest of the distance at a fairly good clip.

Here are the splits:

1. 8:07
2. 7:53
3. 7:47
4. 7:58
5. 7:57
6. 7:50
7. 7:52
8. 7:45
9. 7:52
10. 7:53
10.11 52 secs. or 7:56 pace

As you can see, this was a pretty consistent pace for this run. Total mileage was 10.11 and was completed in 1:19:52. that translates to a 7:54/mile pace.

I felt pretty good after I was finished. It was kind of warm to be wearing running tights and a long-sleeve shirt, but I'll take it over the cold any day.

The best part about this run is that it felt fairly easy and I didn't fatigue like I have in the past when getting up to 10 miles. This is very encouraging!

Runners World Quote of the Day:

"Winning has nothing to do with racing. Most days don't have races anyway. Winning is about struggle and effort and optimism, and never, ever, ever giving up."

Happy running!
