Today was my usual 6.2 mile course: 5 out and back plus a campus 1.2 loop. And my goodness, it was slow: 1:35. Other times: 1:25-1:32. I was 1:17:30 at the 5 mile mark. And it was a gorgeous day; I just had no interest in pushing the pace or even paying attention.
It was almost “walking for pleasure”, and yeah, it was not an effort. But 15:25 should not be an effort either.
Ah, let the healing begin.
