I've never felt that I should log fast mileage before, since my "fast" is not all that fast. But today I'm excited because my run was great.
I missed the Tuesday fun run, so I did my own fun run. I started with a 7:33 mile (I only started that fast to see what I could do), ran a recovery mile, a 7:56 mile, another recovery mile, and then a 7:52 mile.
Next time I do this workout, I'll probably start with more of a warmup first. | | Add Comment |

I'll make this a race report when I can actually find the results online...
Ran an easy 1.2 or so warm up.
Race was good, but I already know the mistake I made. I went out at actually a comfortable pace. When I saw, though, that my first mile was 7:33, I consciously slowed down, even though I had probably already slowed down by the time I hit the first mile. It was weird, though, because I didn't feel I was going that fast. And I felt slow in the first .25 mile. My second mile was then 8:27.
But after the second mile I felt good. Once I looked and saw 16 minutes on the clock I picked up the pace because I couldn't believe that I had slowed down that much. I'm too lazy right now to do the math for the min/mile pace, but I did the last 1.1 in 8:20 or so. My official time 24:19. I had a good kick, which is why I know that I can do better that second mile!
I was pleased overall, since my goal was to be in low 25. And I seem to always make that same mistake during the 2nd mile, so maybe one of these days I'll learn.
AND HOLY COW! I WAS 3RD IN MY AGE DIVISION! That was a surprise. | | Add Comment |

I ran a warmup mile at 8:44 (I was raring to go after about .3 miles). Then I ran 3 fast miles 23 minutes) and then a cool down mile (10 minutes). I felt great!

| Ran with the XC kids. After about 3 miles I let the kids I was running with go ahead while I waited to give support to a new runner. I ran about a mile with her. I'm pleased she was able to run all 4 miles. | | Add Comment |

Ran 2 slow miles to the track. On the track I did intervals.
800--3:48, 400--1:52, 400--1:54, 800--3:42, 400--1:51, 400--1:51. I was a little fast on some of them, but not by much (goal for 800 was 3:47, for 400, 1:54). It felt good, but I feel as if I can start increasing the distance for my speed workouts.
Then I ran 2 slow miles home.

Running this week was light--vacation.
Mileage is only approximate from last Friday till today, but today's run is accurate.
Back to the swing of things tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

A good run. After 10.5 I felt good--I almost stopped then to help my dad look for his keys (that my mom lost). Instead I ran the route to look for them. We didn't find them.
After running the route I cut my run a little short since it was getting dark and I wanted to visit my new niece before leaving to go home tomorrow. | | Add Comment |
