4/4

Run 9 miles. (2 miles at 8:50/miles; 4 miles at 8:30-8:40/miles; 2 at 8:50/miles). Consume gel or something at 1 hour mark. 


Did this. Had trouble running that slow (probably because I was on my own so didn't have anyone to talk to to  slow down. Worked hard to try to make the "slow" miles close to the 8:50/miles and tried to make the other ones absolutely no faster than 8:20/miles. 

Took a Powerade gel that didn't need water around the 1 hour mark. Didn't feel like I needed it, but took it anyway. 

Not sure if I would be able to go faster (maybe?). Left knee was sore around the 6 mile mark, but gradually went away. 

Overall distance: 9.01 miles
Overall time: 1 hour 17 minutes 02 seconds 
Overall pace: 8:33/miles 
Average heart rate: 159 bpm
Average Temperature: 70 degrees (started off at 80, but cooled off as time went on) 

Mile 1: 8:23.0 (I know, I know)
Mile 2: 8:44.5 
Mile 3: 8:46.4
Mile 4: 8:26.2
Mile 5: 8:22.1
Mile 6: 8:22.3
Mile 7: 8:25.9
Mile 8: 8:41.3
Mile 9: 8:41.3 

I liked having to try and keep it at a "pace." I programmed it in in the watch so it was like a game and broke the run up nicely having different paces for different parts.
