A Runners Groove

My Saturday morning long runs are getting fun. I'm learning how to pace myself better. As I start running more, I'm coming to realize it's important to have a steady pace. My pace over the last two Saturdays were almost identical at 9:39 min/mile and 9:31 min/mile, respectively. It's fun to keep track of these calculations, especially if you are a numbers guy like me. I'm looking forward to when my long run pace is less than 9 min/mile, but I am fine with taking my time getting there. That's another thing about runners. We don't mind when things take a while. I guess that's a good thing!
