Easy run around the neighborhood with my friend. Running with her helped me keep it easy pace (I needed it after yesterday), but I'm just not used to running where it's so flat so it felt super slow. Back to the hills tomorrow though...

Out in Buffalo visiting my friend, and I got to run along this beautiful (perfect fall scenery), flat trail. I just set my phone to tell me after 6.3 miles to turn around so I'd get in the planned 12.5. Wow, was I running this fast. I didn't really realize at first, but I hit the turn around point averaging 7:39/mile. I knew I wanted to do the second half faster, so I was committed at that point to turning my long run into a MP run. I was starting to feel tired the last mile or so, but I'm still super surprised I made it almost a half marathon at this pace, and felt pretty comfortable the whole time. Got two long(ish) breaks waiting to cross the major road that the trail goes over. Still a really good run!

Another successful easy run! I’m really trying to work on taking my easy days slower, so this has been a good week for that!

15 min warm up, then 35 min tempo (7:24 pace - goal was 7:21 but treadmill speed options were 7:18 or 7:24 and I opted for slower), then cool down to 7.5 miles

I’m giving myself a pat on the back for actually running this easy, with a great amount of focus on keeping it easy.
