Plan: Same as this day, 54321 workout.
Actual Mileage: 4.7 miles today, including lots of walking.
Route: Around the marsh in my neighborhood. "The marsh" is 0.6 miles so I've been running as many loops around it as I want for various workouts. It's basically flat but not a total pancake.
Weather: 70s and sunny. It was glorious.
Execution: So, I felt strong, and going fast but not out of my mind. But I did not hit the prescribed paces. I am having significant difficulty pacing off my Garmin watch. It kind of makes me insane.
Planned 5:00 at 10:30 pace. Actual: 10:27/mile (Good!)
Planned 4:00 at 10:00 pace. Actual: 10:19/mile (Ok, that's not so bad.)
Planned 3:00 at 10:00 pace. Actual 10:32/mile. (Doh.)
Planned 2:00 at 9:45 pace. Actual 9:27/mile. (Good job!)
Planned 1:00 at 9:45 pace. Actual 10:17/mile. (Ooof.)
From today, I learned: I wrote my coach and asked if I should be doing more of these runs on the treadmill to learn what the paces feel like. We'll see what she says.
Bonus: I did my new "leg day" routine this evening as well.
