Love2Run

AM: I went out running this morning at 12:30 am in the middle of the night so that there would be no one outside. I was surprised though. There were quite a lot of people out walking.

I ran 10K. The first 5K i ran in close to 20 minutes. I went kind of fast to see if I still had some speed. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The second 5K, I did slow.

I will do about 6 miles every morning to finish off this month. The lockdown here is supposed to end on May 6. Hopefully after that I will be able to run longer and during the day.

I am still planning on running a half marathon in November if the race is not cancelled. I have no idea what kind of a time to aim for. I used a race time predictor I found on the runnersworld website. It predicted my time as 1:18, so initially that will be the time I will be working toward. as I train, I may have to adjust that time up or down.

AM: 6 miles at a fairly good pace at 12:30am in the middle of the night. I went a little faster than I was planning on. It was supposed to be an easy day, by I feel nervous being outside, so I think that I ran fast to get the run over with as soon as possible.

AM: (12:30am) Ran an easy 6 miles, with 5 x 150 m striders at the end.

With everyone staying indoors, I haven't seen most of my friends for a long time. I miss my friends. But I have been able to spend more time with my mother, which has been nice.

AM (12:30am): Ran 10K by running 10 x 500m fast with 500m recovery run in between.

AM (1:00am): Ran an easy 6 miles. Worked mainly on form today. I am starting to get used to this running in the middle of the night. I am just glad that there are lots of lights. If there were no lights where I run, it would be kind of scary.

AM (12:30am): Ran a very fast 10K. This was my hardest workout all week. Overall it was a good week and it was good to be able to run again. Looking forward to next week.
