Pace: 10:11

Conditions:

  • °30
  • Calm winds

Observations:

  • Maintained an easy, slow pace for 1 hour 45 minutes (11 1/2 miles) - this was intentional
  • Increased pace for the remainder of the run, or so I thought

Take Away:

  • Trying to train myself on longer runs to start slow and gradually build my pace so I am able to finish strong on half marathon race days
