Today’s run was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It could be due to any one or combination of factors - the 60 degree weather, being well rested, getting my weekly training runs in, switching hydration drinks/energy gels, etc - but whatever the case, it’s renewed my confidence and motivation. Below are my stats….I decided to try recording my mile splits today.

Location: Memorial Park Loop
Distance: 9 miles
Time: 1:44:44
Avg Heart Rate: 163 (stayed below 170 for the first 7 miles)
Max Heart Rate: 184
Splits:

Mile 2 - 11:57
Mile 3 - 11:14

Mile 5 - 12:19
Mile 6 - 11:06
Mile 7 - 12:19
