Total Distance
11.28

They opened up one of the streets I usually run on today, but I found out after I was out.  So, I adjusted my route a little and ended up with 11.28 miles in 1:39:18.  I started wearing down at the end, when I ran a 9:03 mile and the warm-up mile was a 10:34.  All the other miles were in the eights with an average rate of 8:48/mi and 159bpm.  I'm still feeling it, indicating that I've lost some fitness with my sickness, which won't go away.

Hope it's getting better for you. Nice miles today, especially at that heart rate.
