running long (really really nice ) 1:49:01 [5] 10.0 mi (10:54 / mi)
shoes: Hoka Rincon 1 grey
I saw no way I could run as 'fast' as last week for how I felt both physically and (mostly) emotionally. Was a little flat and really had to play mind games first 4 miles. At 5M I thought I would not be able to speed up much more but rather would just be hanging on, but at each half mile split I was right on 10 min pace (for second half of run) and it continued rest of way until I ended up with a 'quick' run.
I was 9 seconds slower than last week but my first 5 miles was right at a minute slower. As all those stupid (not really) security screens ask you to verify...I AM NOT A ROBOT.

10M 1:49:01 (9:14)
1st 5 miles 1:00:44 12:09 per mile
2nd 5 Miles 48:17 9:39 per mile 2 1/2 min per mile faster. 9:39 felt like 6:39 pace.
5+ min warm up of all my regular stuff except bands and weights.
The Rincon's have just about pulled back even with Speedgoats again...Both make me feel like I more up on my toes...I always landed heavy on my heels (probably still do) but I do feel I am up on the balls of my feel a little more.
