Well, first time running from home to work. I woke up at 0430 and was on the road by 0445 and made it to my 0600 meeting with time to spare. It is a nice run, but running on a little two lane road with cars that will go over 40mph can be a bit nerve wracking. I brought a head lamp with me to shine at the cars coming my way and I think Iwill keep that up along with wearing an extra reflective belt.

Well, today was my Marathon...Tuesday. I have changed my faster tempo day to Tuesday instead of Monday to give my body a little more time to recover from the long run on Saturdays. Today was an awesome run though and I am feeling pretty confident again. I originally planned on just doing 7 miles at my GMP, but felt good and ended up doing 8 miles. I was faster on all of my miles than my goal of 7:15-13 which was nice, but I know I can't do that when it comes to running the longer distances.
Here were my splits:
8:02 7:15 7:15 7:10 7:10 7:07 6:59 6:58 6:52 = 7:12 average and 165BPM |

Today's run was good. I was definitely feeling a little sore in the legs from yesterday's run. It might also be from a very light leg workout in the gym yesterday too. But I was able to hit negative splits the whole way which is always a good thing.

Well, my Garmin isn't working for some reason after I finished my run. I can't turn it on... :(
So, I can't figure out my splits, but I was just under a 7:30 pace for the entire run. I have pretty much been averaging 1:06:00 for 9 miles. Hopefully I can get this thing working again!
Alright, finally got it figured out.

The weather today was horrible! Rain and snow...I guess it was snowing bad on post because they closed it down which means they closed the gym and I wasn't even able to go run on the treadmill.
It stinks not being able to run and hit your goal...any tips or advice for running in a downpour? I wouldn't mind running in the snow, done that plenty of times in Utah, but when it is raining like crazy....I don't know about that. |

Well, I did it. I ran a half marathon today. I started off pretty slow, but ended up finishing with a 7:30 avg. That may have been too fast. Right around the 13th mile I felt really sick to my stomach and almost lost it. I am not sure why. How far do most people go on a run without any water? I wonder if I ran too far without water. Anyway, here are the splits.
7:38 7:32 7:37 7:46 (bad side stitch) 7:45 7:37 7:31 7:29 7:23 7:17 7:15 7:06 7:12
=7:28 ave at 161 BPM |
