Out Of Breath

Got home from work and ran 6 miles today.It felt great out with the temperature around the low 60's.I'm trying to pick it up a bit because I'm running a 10k this Saturday.

Mile - 1 - 8:21

Mile - 2 - 7:48

Mile - 3 - 7:47

Mile - 4 - 7:48

Mile - 5 - 7:48

Mile - 6 - 7:57

It looks like my pace is going to be around the 7:40's for the race. I'll try to pick it up the last 2 miles.Last year I ran this race in 54:49.I hope to break 50 this year.

A late night run after we got home from my daughters softball game.I left the house at 11:10 pm and ran a out and back at a 7:20 pace. Has anyone ever noticed that hills are much easier at night?

A morning run at a easy pace for 4 miles and then picked it up to a 7:44 pace for the last 3.5 miles.

Woke up this morning to heavy rain.Delayed my run until after lunch, man I hate running on a full stomach.I had to re-route my run due to water over the streets.Three easy miles and three miles at a 7:50 pace.

Two easy miles this afternoon. Tomorrow is the Jesse Owens 10k race.My goal is to break 50 minutes. I hope the weather is not to bad.

Today I ran the Jesse Owens 10k in Moulton Al. My goal for this race was 50 minutes. I woke up this morning with a stomach problem and had to visit the john on two occasions before leaving the house.I didnt eat anything for the fear of having to make a pit stop during the race.After the race started I felt good for the first 3 miles and was on pace.Between miles 3 and 4 I started having trouble again.I had to slow down and try to work through it.I stopped at the water station and thought that a drink of water would help.After I started back running my legs felt weak. My breathing was good the whole race but my legs were like noodles.I think that it was a combination of no food and a nervous stomach.I started feeling a little better around the last mile and tried to finish strong.I still almost ran a high 50 but was a little disappointed when I didnt meet my goal. Oh well, the good thing about races is that there will be more.

51:10 on my garmin. Not sure of the official time yet.

Last year I ran a 54:49 at this race.
