Started this run filled with piss and vinegar. Realized a few minutes into it that maybe I was going too hard, but I felt okay so I kept going.
And then I hit the first mile, and as I rounded back, my legs went "hey, we are so DONE!" and my shins said "hear, hear!" Walking happened. I'd start jogging again, and my shins would bark in protest. More walking happened. I got to the last tenth mile of the run, I said "the heck with you shins, I need to finish strong," and killed myself to my finish spot.
I was sure my time would be craptastic, but then I saw my pace was still pretty good when I stopped RunKeeper. When I checked the stats on RunKeeper, I can see why after the first mile I was getting exhausted: I had really increased my pace, almost up a full minute on the first mile. Hopefully a trend on the rise!
