Ten Miles Indoors

NSP Community Center indoor track 10 mi in 1:25:29, pace 8:33. Exactly the pace for a 3:45 marathon. That’s what I want to run in May at the Avenue of the Giants. What a splendid marathon venue that will be!

No pains today. As it’s an odd-numbered day we ran clockwise, for which I have a slightly preference because of arthritis in the left foot. I didn’t feel too energetic, especially toward the end, but that problem always self-corrects with enough sleep, good food, and a little beer.

Splits: 8:43, 8:30, 8:28, 8:21, 8:40, 8:30, 8:44, 8:32, 8:51, 8:10. Water after 4, 6, & 8. My sweeties were there too, sometimes running a lap with me at my pace, otherwise running their own pace.
