Well it’s Monday again. Time to start another week and time to report on my walk yesterday. I did my 7 mile walk at Antrim Park. I have figured that the remainder of my distance walks will be done at Antrim. I have figured out where the tenth mile marks are so calculating mileage is easier.
The day was another good day to walk. The temperature was around 83 degrees and as is typical of Central Ohio summer – the humidity was up around 75%. There was a breeze that helped with easing the humidity a bit. After last week and the problems that I ran into at about 3.5 miles, I got some “sports beans” at Target. I started eating 1-2 every mile after about the 3.5 mile mark. Didn’t run into the same thing this time. I decided that I was not going to try to go all out but just keep a steady pace through the walk.
I finished the walk in 1:58:20 with an average pace of 16:54 min/mile. Very pleased with my performance. My mile split times are: 16:40, 16:22, 16:20, 16:47, 17:10, 17:10 and 17:52.
This was a milestone in my training as this distance represents over half of the half marathon distance. I look forward to this coming weekend’s walk as it will be only 6 miles.
