2/26/06: 10 Miles at Memorial Park!

So this run would qualify as another ‘late nighter.’ After I told myself I wouldn’t try to run late at the Park anymore, I ended up having a bit of company with other runners and walkers putting in some mileage in too. My legs certainly felt a little fatigued from yesterday’s Rodeo Run, but after a few miles, my legs loosened up and felt great.

Most impressive about this run for me: the fact I ran even splits throughout and that my heart rate was very low and consistent (for a distance run). Although my average pace per mile was slower then my last few distance runs, I still felt good overall . Looking forward to another week of training and some speedwork at the Memorial Park track on Wednesday.
