1500 Miles down.

Pace Run: 7Miles @ 8:22
Planned: 7Miles @ 8:30

Today I was not quite sure what to do. I am still planning my training schedule for The Detroit Marathon. And it looks like I am going to shoot for a goal time of 3:45. This is 15 minutes slower then I had planned to do LA, but I want to be sure I have a realistic goal this time. This would require me to do maintain a average pace of 8:30.

This brought me to my run today, I wanted to do a run long enough that I could get used to the pace and learn what it felt like. The run went well, it was not quite a tempo run, not quite a EZ run. It felt good to know that I was running at "the pace". This reinforced my plans to ad a pace run to my schedule each week. I will give it a bit more thought first.
