It has taken me a LONG time to get to the point where I can consistently pace myself; it's still only possible with help from my Garmin and really paying attention to how I feel. The humidity has been ridiculous; no wonder your 12-miler felt tough! Your CrossFit workout was crazy...I am bowing down to you, you just can't see it - ha! Great post!

I technically write a book blog, but am also a runner and am training for my first half marathon, so am writing about running for the link-up. Pacing is so hard - especially for me since I'm used to the shorter distances (10K max) and am now attempting long runs for the first time. I have a hard time dialing it back, especially in the beginning of the run! This week is a 7 mile long run, longer than I've ever run before...so I'll have to be really good about my pace :)Sarah (Sarah's Book Shelves)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04114051128835057362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-61920923067299989292014-08-11T06:58:15.275-05:002014-08-11T06:58:15.275-05:00Thanks!
