Subject says it all. Actually the tempo seemed harder today than what I remember. Of course, it's only my second one. I did end up keeping the pace at an average of 8:01/mile, but that is slower than last time's 7:52/mi. It just felt harder. It seems to take a lot of concentration for me to keep at a consistent pace. And I still feel quite inferior to judge my pace by the "feel." It seems that my time+distance watch isn't all that accurate, but it is something that I have which is better than nothing. The only other thing that I am slightly concerned about is my feet and some blister formations, but they don't stay so I'm not that concerned. I figure I can tough it out for 6 miles. Maybe my next set of shoes would help.
I didn't wake Glynis this morning, and she sounded somewhat disappointed in that. I should have known better. I'll at least offer next time.
Yesterday I came up with a plan for running all this month. I guess it could kind of depend on how well I do on Sunday or how much I might need to rest after running it. But I think I've put forth a good guesstimate. I have no time to beat, so I really just have to survive. But I keep on wondering how well I'll survive. And July's 5K will keep me wondering just how fast can I run it? I'm going to really try to go all out for that one.
