Grooved to Run

Today is Week 5 Day 2 of the Hal Higdon 10K Training Plan.

Made the mistake of having a large pasta meal and then heading out the door to run with less than about two hour in between. Had some cramping about a half-mile into my run. It went away for the rest of miles one and two, but came back a little bit in mile three and then the cool-down. Hopefully I’ll finally learn my lesson on that one. :)

Cramping aside, my total for the night was 3.11 miles in 29:11 (9:23/mi pace) with an average speed of 6.4 mph and a max of 10.0 mph. My 1-mile splits were 9:23, 9:56, and 9:04.
