Army 10 Miler

October 5, 2008 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Pleasant, very light breeze

Comments:
Army ten-miler, my first long run after the USAF 1/2 marathon a couple weeks ago. Started what felt relatively slow, running w/Gy Pappas at ~8:30 pace. Left Gy around 7.5 miles into it, and started picking up the pace. Around 8:00 at 8 miles, down to 7:30-ish at 9:00 and finished with a good 1/4 mile push to the end.

Overall, 20 sec/mile faster pace than the 1/2 marathon. Cooler weather helped. I liked running solo on the 1/2 better than with a parter--listening to my body and watching the Garmin for pacing.

Napped afterward--tired and sore, esp with recent MCMAP (and attendant lack of recent running).
