This weekend, I did another 12 mile run, and it was rough.\u00a0 I didn’t get enough sleep the night before (thank you, basketball), and I just wasn’t feeling it.\u00a0 It was a slog to just get started, but I forced myself out.<\/p>\n

This run was another paced run, where I had 4 miles of warmup and cooldown and another 8 at set paces.\u00a0 I think I’m supposed to be working on getting faster.<\/p>\n

With my brain half asleep and my body fighting me, I just could not find my pace.\u00a0 But I wasn’t too slow.\u00a0 I was too fast.\u00a0 I can’t decide if this is a good thing or not.\u00a0 On one hand, it’s awesome that even a bad run can be faster than anticipated.\u00a0 On the other hand, I really need to learn to pace myself.<\/p>\n

When I let myself run too fast, that’s when I run into heart rate issues.\u00a0 I push too hard and my HR monitor beeps at me, telling me I need to slow down.\u00a0 Usually, I don’t have that problem on a training run, but I did yesterday, early in the run.\u00a0 I managed to settle in and clear that up, but it’s something I’m going to have to keep an eye on, especially as the temperatures rise with the changing seasons.<\/p>\n

It can be frustrating to not be able to push as hard as I want and to have to slow down just when I’m feeling fast, but the other option is to just not run at all, so I have to remember to be thankful that I can be out there in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
