Did not feel particularly enthused this morning. Legs were fatigued more than normal. Sunday's fast paced long run really took it out of me... it was a great workout but definitely not something I should be doing too often at least not at this point.
Regardless, I had a mission to accomplish. Today I was the day I would finally reach my mileage goal for the year.
I started out with a mile walk on the treadmill to loosen up. It seemed to do the trick as my legs started feeling a bit better.
Then 5.25 miles in 42:20 (8:04 avg. pace)… started out slow and ramped up to 7:47 pace for the last 3 miles. HR stayed mostly low, getting up to the mid 140s by the end but averaging 136 BPM.
And as of that run I am officially at 2020.33 miles for the year. 2020 for 2020! Plus 5000 pushups and 5000 pull ups... nothing left but 8 more days of 12500 steps to meet all my goals.
Starting to plan my goals for 2021. Should be similar to 2020 but some modest increases. The main thing I really need to focus on is losing the last few pounds.
