5.97 miles, 43:36
I managed to hold a 7:18/mile pace for this run. I’ve been trying to increase my pace on the shorter mileage. That’s the plan anyway. Unfortunately, I ran into some game day traffic. I feel for the diehard Giants fans coming out to see the remaining games even though the team didn’t make the playoffs. But, I still wish there were not so many of them. I guess it is good practice for bobbing and weaving around other runners for the marathon which is bound to be crowded even with the staggered start.
For the first time in months though I don’t have any injuries to speak of and I feel nearly unimpaired when running. The cold I picked up at the beginning of the month is just barely hanging on. The new shoes are working out perfectly. Now I just need to find a goo that doesn’t taste bad and break the 15 mile barrier and I’m all set. Just.
