Ran alone this morning. Beautiful day though. Cool & comfortable which is saying a lot for the first day of June in Florida. I'm trying to keep my pace comfortable on these days and focus on form and relaxation. I seem to always pick it up though and I'm wondering if I'm cheating myself or helping. Today, the goal was to get 7 miles in.
I finished March with a 30 mile/week average which was my goal. I want to ramp to 40 m/wk in June and hold that till August when I begin training for a fall marathon. If I can get strong and stay uninjured through the summer, I should have a shot at 3:40'sh to maybe a 3:30 marathon by November.
I dropped a total of 4 lbs in March brining my total to around 9 lbs since Feb. leaving me at a still healthy (if not hefty) 175 lbs. I don't see the need to drop below 170 but I'll see where the milage and increased intensity take my body at the current calorie intake.
Time: 5:45 am Total Time: 1:00:01 Temp: 72
Break Down:
- 3 mile: 25:09:62 (8:23/mile)
- 3 mile: 24:19:85 (8:06/mile)
- 1.2 mile (cool down): 10:32 (8:46/mile)
