First Mile was a rough one again. Loosened up after that but I'm still not feeling ready for thgis half. Oh well. I'll just do the best that I can. My average was 9:36 with a total time of 31:55. I finished up with some upper body weights and some push-ups.

See you Saturday.

I did okay. My pace was slower than I would have liked. I just couldn't get the legs to turnover the way I would like. I had a potty break at mile one that cost me a few minutes. I needed more longer runs 14 to 15 milers would have served me well but I was to damn lazy. My spliuts are below.

1. 9:17

2. 9:00

3. 7:58 Better pace.

4. 8:01 still good

5. 8:08 Still good.

6. 9:18 Uphill and I stopped to drink and take a Gu.

7. 8:05, still good.

8. 8:36 still not bad.

9. 8:55 calf started to hurt.

10. 8:30 hanging in there.

11. 8:57 started to crash.

12. 9:23 still crashing.

13. 9:45 needed a drink here for some reason.

.10 9:35.

 

I needed more longer runs but I still beat the 2 hour guy. I had 15 minute course PR so I feel like I am improving but nowhere near where I have been in the past. I need to work harder and be consistant with the weekly mileage.

See you next week.
