Felt lousy all day at work today but had a 10 miler on tap today and had to put it down.
Ran a half marathon pace for the first five miles than turned it up to my 10k pace for the second five. Was fun dodging puddles and leaping over snow - but ended up coming home with wet feet, sand and salt covered legs and a wind blown face.
Decent times but did nothing to make me feel better (physically) ... hope to feel better soon this cold has crushed me for 5 days now.
Splits:
mile 1 - 8:50
mile 2 - 8:59
mile 3 - 9:02
mile 4 - 9:05
mile 5 - 8:59 (first half 44:57)
mile 6 - 8:30
mile 7 - 8:08
mile 8 - 8:05
mile 9 - 8:10
mile 10 - 7:48 (total time 1:25:40)
My name is Paul - I am a Clydesdale Triathlete from New York competing in my third season (2013). 2012 was a mess of injuries and disappointments but this is a new year with new goals. A few short years ago I weighed 308 pounds. Changes in nutrition and exercise helped with weight loss and competition keeps me focused on getting lighter and perhaps someday not being The Heavy Racer.
