I ran around the lake today and I put in a hard effort, finishing in just under 55 minutes. Last week's 12 miler was a much better run at about the same pace, but I am still adjusting to the paleo diet. Also, l need to purchase a foam roller so I can do more therapy on my legs in the evening.
On seond thought, today went better than I thought. I did the same run just over two months ago on Nov. 15. Back then my pace was 7:22 per mile. Today my pace was 6:52 per mile. I can't complain about a 30 second decrease in such a short period.
Next week I cross the 40 mile barrier. Hopefully, the mileage increase continues to go smoothly. I just ran 28 miles this week and I hardly feel like I ran at all.
