Aug. 13, 2009

Distance: 9.1 miles
Time: 1:20:02
Average: 8:48
Run type: tempo
Location: English Landing Park
Weather: 90, clear, not too humid
Aches: None.
Injuries: None
Observations: 1) The Missouri River looks great. It's full, but not over-full, so there are banks all along. The trees are green, and the water isn't full of debris as it sometimes is if there has been destructive weather upstream.
Session comments: I felt heavy-legged for the first 3 or 4 miles, so I picked up the pace to get the blood moving. I walked between miles for 30 seconds. I averaged about 8:30 for the final five miles, and felt good doing it. I could have kept going, but I didn't need to. I've already got 32 miles for the week, with my long run coming up Saturday.
