Had to get up early, because I was working @ 8:30 this morning (I'm a little ticked she isn't here now and it's 9:45!! UGGHHH!!) Anyway, I got my 1000 in and some to spare! I felt SO good this morning, it's been a long time since I've felt good on a TM run. I was also able to keep the pace a little better today. I don't know splits, because I went by songs on my ipod and didn't look at the TM until almost 4 miles. AP was 8:57 - very happy to see the paces falling under 9mm again and it not feeling like death!! It was a progressive run, starting at 9:22 then the last mile starting at 8:34 and the last .2 @ 7:30, it didn't even feel all that hard today - yay!
So, now to get my stated goal for 2011 - I'm going for 2011 miles! I know I can do it - consistency! 40 mile weeks, easy cheesy! 6/day and then 10 on Saturday as a min week, that is a nice, easy goal for me to handle and it is VERY doable as well! So, I'm going to start tomorrow off by running 11 miles and get those out of the way, then I can start my weeks out on Monday towards the 2000! Happy New Year everyone! (oh, as a side note, one thing I've decided I like about watching Sports Center on the TV while I run -its the ONLY option! is that when I'm watching plays where the athletes are running fast down the field/court I feel like I run harder to help them :) It was funny when I realized myself doing this today. I was more 'into' sports center than I have been in a long time, obviously).
