Overall Average Pace: 9:39

Conditions:

  • 22° (12° windchill)
  • Wind N 15 mph

Splits:

  • 2 mi - 9:01 / 4 mi - 9:08 / 6 mi - 9:14 / 8 mi - 9:32 / 10 mi - 9:26 / 12 mi - 9:37 / 13. 74 - 8:14

Thoughts:

  • I am disappointed with my overall finish time and average pace. I just don't understand why I can not run under 2 hours.
  • The course was very hilly, but I felt as if I maintained my pace well through those parts of the race.
  • At the first mile, the police officer directed us to a wrong turn. I, and other runners, ran an extra 1/2 mile in total due to his error. I don't really think that this affected my overall time too much except that perhaps I overcompensated and ran too fast at first to make up the distance in order to get back on track.
  • I really need to think through my training and decide if I want to just run or if I want to run to race faster. I am really at a crossroad. I'm pretty discouraged because whatever I try just does not seem to work.

Overall Average Pace: 10:33

Conditions:

  • 31°

Splits:

Thoughts:

  • This was the first time in 6 days that I had been able to run outside. It felt good to be in the fresh air.
  •  The workout goal was to run slow (11:00 per mile). I was all over the place with my times.
  • I have three running plans vying for my decision to follow. Currently, my mind is a jumbled mess. What I have been using did not get me where I wanted to be ultimately. I am finding it difficult, however, to try something new.
  • This week I am to do a recovery workout. I am forcing myself to make a final decision at the end of the week because I will have tried a week of training with each plan.
