Tuesday 8 Miler

Got up early and headed out for my morning run, covering 8 miles in 1:19:57 up at the lake going out on the Page Extension spur and back, avg pace of 9:59, avg heart rate of 164. Splits of 10:44, 10:23, 10:14, 10:05, 9:57, 9:42, 9:32 and 9:16, negative splits. I pushed it the last mile to get under 1h20min so my pace would be just under 10 min/mile for the run. I walked about a minute most every mile and had a gu at the start of mile 5 but was able to 'make up' the time and still have an under 10 minute mile. At mile 7 I considered pushing it to see if I could get a record mile since that mile is flat or a bit downhill, but decided it wasn't worth it.
