flimsy and dull

Wed, 8/22-

Today was supposed to be an easy 30-min run. I  started towards the far end of the YMCA's parking lot and made my way towards CVS. I covered the first mile in 7:40 but fell off that pace some. I hit Beekman and Triangle (1.4M into the run) at 11:00. I figured I'd turn around at 2.04M, or 15:30 (7:36 per mile pace).  

On the way back, I hit Beekman and Triangle at 20:05 (2.6M). I kept an easy pace for the rest, finishing up the 4.08M run in 30:10, or 7:24/mile pace. (The 2.04 trek back was 14:40, or 7:11/mile pace.)

15:30 (7:36/M pace) out and 14:40 (7:11/M pace) back. 7:24 pace overall.

My legs are feeling flimsy.

Tues, 8/21

The workout today was to run 10 min at 10k pace on a straight, uninterrupted path, take a 10-min break, then run back.  The idea was to try to reach or surpass the starting point.

Using the canal trail, I started at the bridge to Colonial Park covered 1.54M in the 10 minutes allotted.  The pace was 6:30/mile. With flimsy and dull legs, I tried not to press, as I wanted to stay within the 10k pace.

The route back felt harder, especially the middle.  I covered about 50 meters more than I had on the first run, for 1.57M (6:22/mile pace).
