My training partners backed out on me at 3 am this morning... unfortunately I missed the text so instead of laying in bed I was up at 3:30 getting ready to run. When I got to the spot and no one was there I finally checked my messages and saw that I was running solo today... No problem and in some ways preferred (still getting my head wrapped around running with a group after training solo for must of my adult running career).
I wasn't sure how fast I wanted to run... then took off at a 7:05 pace for the first mile. 6:57 and 6:49 for mile 2 and 3. I had talked myself into 3 hard miles so then I slowed a bit and ran mile 4 at 7:05 and mile 5 (net uphill) at 7:21. At this point my HR was in the 160s and I decided one more mile and then I'm stopping my watch. I hit mile 6 in 6:31 and shaved my time on a Strava segment in the process.
I stopped my watch. Walked about for about 5 minutes. Then resumed my run at a slower pace. 8:17, 7:57, 7:56, 7:40 for 4 more miles to make it 10.
