Sunday, the day of rest arrived. It was meant to be a day off work and a nice gentle 2 mile run. After 5 hours at work, I can home, had a late lunch, and was ready to go. As I ran I found it quite hard going - I'd woken up with the backs of my thighs sore, and no idea why, so I assumed the hard going was because of that. I found it hard to breathe, so assumed that was because of the cold air. By the time I was getting to the end of the second mile it was getting really tough, but I kept going and finished. It was when I downloaded the information that I found what the problem really was.
Garmin Stats: 2.01miles in 19mins 19.52secs. That was not slow. I was planning on 21 minutes. The exact time for 2 miles was 19:10.51. Average speed 6.2mph. Okay, so if I kept that pace up I would complete a 10K in an hour, but I can't keep that pace up yet. Not surprising at that was as fast as my best 2 miler since I got back into running. I must pace things better
