Been so long since my last update, Fridays run was very fast for me 5.64 mile in 55:48 @ 9:53 pace. I am finding out that I am running my short runs at a lot faster pace than I usually do. I think that the long runs are paying off. Plus I have been trying to run on hillier routes. Sunday s 18 mile run I ran in 3:26:53 @ an 11:27 pace. It was the longest run to date. I had to walk a few in the last miles but I got it done! This week was a recovery week, Wednesday I ran 5 miles in 53:05 @ 10:29 pace, Thursday I ran 9 miles in 1:40:14 @ an 11:07 pace, and Fridays run I ran 6 miles in 59:11 @ a 9:51 pace! (New record for the 6 miles) Today’s run was going to be a 14 mile run but I ran about 13 miles in 2:20:45 @ an 11:26 pace. The course I ran today was a half marathon course that I am going to run in June. I had a new running partner today also, a friend of a friend that I went to school with. She is new to running and training for her first half marathon. The thing I like about running is that there’s a lot of time to chat when you’re out there and her story of why she runs is very inspirational. I believe that she has lost over 100 lbs. in her journey so far. That is so crazy!!! Like I said very inspirational. Plus we ran some huge hills today and she did Awesome on them. (Sorry about that) I look forward to running with her again.
Next week’s runs will bring me to the peek in my training 5,10,5 and the big 20 miles. I am searching for someone to maybe run at least half of the 20 miles with me. If not that’s ok I have been running solo for a long time. If it’s anything like the 18 mile run it’s gonna be a very hard day, but I know I can do it! There’s about four weeks left in my training and after this week is all taper!
Oh ya I bought a bike! For cross training on Mondays it’s a Trek FX7.5 I bought it used from a friend that I work with. So far I love it. I just hope it doesn’t lead me to another sport that I wish I had more time for.
