All about that pace.

5:00am John 20 - Acts 10

I took a different route today and went down Steilacoom hill after Farwest hill and then through the hospital grounds on the way back. By mile 6 the bandaid that started out on my 2nd toe was drifting around at the end of my sock and bugging me so I cut it short. Otherwise it was a good run. It was dry and warm out with a slight breeze and it should be like this all week. I think Spring has finally sprung.

6:00am 2Corinthians 1-3

I planned on 12+ today, but we're going to Kym's parents house earlier than I thought. I met Preston in Steilacoom Park and just ran around the Oakbrook loop with him. The pace felt a lot faster than it was today.
Happy Mothers Day to any moms reading this.

Plans changed and Kym wanted to go for a short run. We ran across Steilacoom Park and half way up Farwest hill. On the way back my son Jake met us in the park running(almost a mile away from home) and ran back with us. He couldn't have picked a better way to tell mom happy mother's day!

4:30am Colossians 2 - 1Peter 2

More hills. I got a little carried away and did Farwest x3 and Steilacoom x2. I can think of worse reasons to be late for work.

This should make tomorrow's long run interesting.

8:00am 1Peter3 - Revelation 22

I left in a crummy mood again today so I decided I'd just run until I felt better or could not go any farther. I ran the same route as yesterday and was feeling much better(and nearly exhausted) by mile 15, a few minutes later I finished Revelation on my MP3 player. I was still 2 miles from home so I tried to keep the pace up and make it a "long" run. I finished the route and then ran about 1/4 of the way around our condo complex to make sure it was at least a little longer than yesterday :) I didn't finish as strong as yesterday, but my average pace was faster, 7:17 vs 7:21.

4:10am Numbers 32 - Deuteronomy 27

This makes four run days in a row, it's been a while since I did that. This also makes three 50 mile weeks in a row. If I can keep this up through June I may be looking at a PR in July.

For what it's worth, I do shop there. I could even be in this video.

6:00pm Deuteronomy 28 - Joshua 7

Sunny and 60°, I have rested my legs for 3 days and even slept for about 15 hours last night/today to catch up after a long weekend of camping. Why wouldn't I be ready for a great run? The first 2 miles did feel great, after that it felt like I was pulling a car behind me! My heart was pounding at 5k pace and my legs were barely moving at marathon pace. Something is horribly wrong with this picture. I tried to hang in there and find a groove, but it just wasn't happening so I skipped my last trip up Farwest hill and cut 3 miles off the route. I'm kind of glad I finished early because a friend had stopped by and was still waiting for me when I got home, but I'm still concerned about this bummer of a run. I hope I feel better in the morning.
