Challenges tonight getting out the door - I'm fighting allergies and possibly a cold, and the baby was still up at 9:50 pm. Finally I just asked his daddy to watch him and headed out the door.
Tonight's 2 miles felt a little tough, mostly because of trouble breathing due to the allergies and the cold. I was also a little worried because my right knee was a little twinge-y when I first started to run, but I just promised myself I'd listen to it while I was running and stop if it got worse.
Once again I was able to complete the whole distance without stopping for a walking break, and I held a pretty steady pace which I could tell was faster than Tuesday's run. I even managed to dig down and finish a little stronger in the last 1/4 mile or so.
It paid off: total time for 2 miles was 25:56. Just under a 13 minute mile, held consistently over 2 miles! I'm hoping now to continue to develop the endurance to hold that pace over longer distances and make it feel more comfortable.
Sports drink, snack and sleep for me now. Need to nip this cold in the bud.
