about 16.25 in a 2:03 which is about a 7:30 pace. Feeling good! I am thinking I may enter my first race in two weeks but am not sure what distance I should do. Maybe start out with a 5K? I am pretty excited to run my first :)

an easy about 9 mile run in 71 minutes. I averaged about 7:30 pace but had to slow down towards the end as it became quite dark and easy to trip. I also rowed for an hour this morning on the river.

long bike ride this morning. I wanted to go for a slow run this afternoon, but still felt some residual tiredness from either the morning bike ride or long run this weekend, so I took a very slow (about 8:30 pace) recovery run. It was 45 min long and about 5.5 mile. One of my friends let me borrow her Garmin, which said that the 1 mile loop trail that I like to run is only 0.87 miles long! No wonder I always felt fast running with that loop hahaha. This week and next week I think are going to be recovery weeks for me. I feel tired and that I have been overtraining. I have only recently started running (2 months ago) so my body is still not used to the pounding. I need to build myself up slowly which is something I find very difficult to do.

Hi again. I have been on vacation the past week so haven't had a chance to blog or run. It was a good break for me though because I feel healthy and ready to run again. Today I did a 5.6 mile run in 40 min so about 7:15 pace which was a little faster than I planned but I was just happy to run. I am working on building up like Sasha advised so I am just going out and running as much as possible without overdoing it but also building my aerobic base. 

Also did some stretching and core work (plank 3X20 second series after) and 50 pushups.

6.8 mile run in 50 minutes so average pace was about 7:20 minute miles. Still feeling great to run again! Also ended with stretching and core/ pushups. I am heading back to school soon so I am a little nervous but excited :) It was pretty hot out so after running I jumped in a nearby lake which felt amazing.

I know I am not supposed to do crazy bike work outs but I did 45 miles as part of a charity for one of my high school friends who passed away last year in a car crash. It was a great way to remember him and hopefully will become a tradition. But I am looking forward to a run tomorrow.

Easy 8.7 miles in 66 minutes so about 7:40 minute mile pace. This was definitely one of those days where I felt like I could run forever.
