New Toy

It's almost Friday!!!! Finding motivation for the last easy weekday run on Thursday's is not the easiest, but I managed to get my butt out the door first thing this morning for my run.


I was in for a special treat today since I was itching to try out my newest toy! I decided to try out my new SpiBelt that came in earlier this week.

Worked great, sat exactly where I wanted and didn't budge! I can't believe I didn't get one sooner!

So another fun fact about today's run was the rain. It was tapering off just as I was starting and the slight drizzle plus 75* temps made for a fabulous run, and I found paces that I thought had been permanently lost from my easy runs.

6 Miles- 55:11, Avg pace 9:11, Avg HR 162

Mile 1-  9:43

Mile 2-  9:27

Mile 3-  9:21

Mile 4-  9:19

Mile 5-  8:51

Mile 6-  8:30

If nothing else this made me SOOO excited for fall. I was afraid that even 4 weeks of marathon training had hindered my ability to naturally run quicker, but it seems it has just been the weather slowing me down. I started easy and comfortable and finished easy and comfortable, I was shocked to keep seeing my pace keep dropping so consistently, but I felt great and it was a perfect confidence building easy run.
