RUN: 7 miles in 59:20 PR!!?!!
I think my previous 7 mile PR is 59: 50-something? I should check. I'm not sure why 7 miles is one of my "PR" distances, I think because of my at-the-time-PR 7-miler back in '09 on the BRR group run.
I should check. Now....DANG IT! Previous 7-mile PR of 57 mins. Boo. Oh well.
Anyhoo, I set out planning to do only 4-5 miles, up to the school road and back. But as I was going I just felt great. Started off with a 9m/m then dropped it to 8:45 then lower and lower... I decided to round things out to get 7 miles. I wasn't pushing hard, I was in the Kinvaras, and I was just having fun.
Then as I turned the last corner, I decided to see if I could do the last 2.25 miles under 1 hour. That meant I had 18 mins. Can-do Balu. Watch me.
So off I went, knowing I'd be close and also knowing I had a lot left in the tank. I moved up to just over 8 m/m and set it to cruise. The Garmin beeped at 59:20 for the 7 mins! Awesome!
Recovered fast and thought it would have been a good race day, with the rest the day before and the day after. Awesome!
