First 4 miles in 34:37/8:39 pace. Then 1 mile at what I felt was a realistic 10K race pace--fast but comfortable and I was not fatigued at all after only one mile of it--7:18, which would calculate to a 45:21 10K, so, if conditions are good I may get my 45 minute 10k next week. I feel more confident about the pace being sustainable. ran 3 more miles for a time of 31:23/7:50 pace average for the last 4. Finally had a breakthrough in my weight today. I have been at a plateau for several months now--it may just be a fluke but we will see. I have not changed my eating habits--they are pretty healthy--I am just seeing if gradually higher mileage eventually would translate into a little weight loss if I was patient and I think it may. I'm not exactly sure what weight I should go for. I am 5'1". I weighed 103 pre-pregnancy, but weighed 98 in high school. I am thinking I will just let my weight decide for itself and not do anything special to lose more. |
