6.5 Mile Run/Walk

I was thinking about running a 10K this morning to test my 5-1 run walk as a training for a half marathon in October. But I stayed up late watching the Olympics, ate a litle too much red meat and drank a beer, and then this morning, my daughter woke up at six and I was playing with her in bed and didn't feel like getting up and leaving her, plus it was hot out.

Anyway, I saved $25 bucks and the gas to go to the race. Instead I went to the resovoiur. It was hot, but much of the run is shaded. 73 degrees. 61% humidity.

I went the first 3.1 doing run/walk at a 5 minute to 1 minute ratio. I was running easy and not trying to set any kind of record.

Here's how it came out:

Mile 1: 10:50
Mile 2: 11:20
Mile 3.1: 11:57
3.1: 34:08 (11:00 pace)

I continued around the resovouir one more time, but switched my rin walk to a 3 minute run/2 minute walk:

? Unknow connecting distance: 2:38
Mile 1: 13:04
Mile 2: 13:13
Mile 3.1: 13:46
2nd 3.1K: 40:03 (12:56 pace)
Unknown connecting distance: 2:05

Total time 1:18:55
10K (time minus connecting times): 1:14:13
11:58 pace

Afterwards, I needed a two hour nap to recover.
