Didn't feel so good at the beginning and realized I was probably dehydrated halfway through the run. But decided to do 3.5 (instead of 3) at the beginning and to run through it anyway. Half a mile doesn't seem like a lot but it is to me at this stage. Anyway, glad I pushed through it. Ran a lot faster than usual (see average time above!) and I don't feel too winded now right after finishing. In fact, even had some energy to push the pace a bit in the middle (was racing cars stuck in traffic jam). Last half mile felt a bit slow though. Still, I'm happy. 3.5 feels like a much more manageable distance already. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow and then the 7 miles on Saturday.
