Ran with Ben after our temple trip, so it was a little later in the day. He decided to do three and I couldn't catch him. I averaged 8:17/mi, but he beat me by at least a minute. Then, I went out to do 9 more. It went well until the last mile, when I lost my energy in the hot 70 degrees sunny weather. I almost fainted in the shower and I'm still really wiped out. My average speed for the second 9.63 was 8:34/mile, which was pretty good. I hope that an effort like that will reap rewards. |
