Nice 9-er w/ Heather & Buff today. 9:15 av. pace. Met up early at the gym and did a loop around Green Springs. Felt pretty good energy the whole run, took 1 gu 1/2 way, but the non-caffeine kind. Started to feel the hip right at the end of the run, so 9 was probably good for today. Will try a bit longer next weekend, like maybe 11 or 12. Felt good about mileage this week and getting out 5 days, I usually only get out 4 it seems... Need to run some downhill in the next couple weeks to get ready for Spectrum 10k- my quads are feeling weak lately on downhill, slow... Another goal is I'd like my av. pace to be faster, like closer to 9 mi., instead of 9:15, but I guess that will just come with more mileage.
Off to spend the Sat. w/ my sweetheart (finally celebrate Valentine's)
Have a great weekend bloggies!!
