I kicked off another week of marathon “pre-training” by running five miles this morning on the treadmill at 7:13 pace. This was my first run at that pace and it definitely felt a bit uncomfortable—manageable, but uncomfortable. I feel like this is the pace where the real work of getting fast begins, so I am glad I got through it. I spent the first 20 minutes or so listening to a podcast before switching to the Spotify master playlist I created, which is now up to 88 songs (feel free to leave good running song suggestions). This afternoon I flew to New York City for work, and conditions permitting I am going to run around Central Park tomorrow morning, which I did the last time I was here just over a month ago. I am hoping to time my run using my Garmin 205, but am having the hardest time getting this watch to locate a satellite signal. Hopefully I can do so before I hit the park tomorrow, but if not no worries—will probably be better for my mental health not to time myself and compare it to last month’s run.
