I was very inspired by the race reports this past Saturday! Good job everyone!! Another reason I love this blog- the race reports helped to motivate me & get a little more serious about my goals. I really want to break my 5k PR this year for starters. I think it would help me to run alone at least 1x a week. I usually run with friends & we chat the whole time, therefore not really pushing myself in my training runs. Today I went alone and averaged 8:49 on a tough 5 miler (more than 50% was slight uphill). I think I can definately get to 8:35/8:40 average pace on my training runs if I run alone more often. I don't want to be above 9:15 unless its a long run.
I'm thinking about running a 5k in Florida June 7th while I'm down there. This probably wouldn't be the PR 5k because I haven't really been doing any tempo, speed work lately. But ESPECIALLY because I don't know how I'll do in the heat. It will be low to mid 90s and very high humidity most likely. But I love to do races in other places when ever I have the opportunity and this one is at a cool nature park so I think it will keep hubby & kids entertained while I do a quick (hopefully, hee hee) 5k. I'll have a week to run down there before the race so I can decide if my body can handle the heat in a race or not. |

| Abs & Arms (weights) today. Will run 6 w/ Buff & Heather in the am. Will try to set the pace and keep it no slower than 9 min. miles. Not sure if Heather will like that idea since she's recovering from an Ultra! |

Long day. Finally sitting down to blog the run! I must've been really tired today because I slept through my alarm and missed meeting up w/ the gals for the early run. So I had to get out later in the day alone. I think it was good for me. I did the same route as Monday and really pushed myself. Despite the heat and wind I kept 8:29 av. pace, so I'm very happy with this. Man, I was working though, it was TOUGH!
QQuestion for bloggies that run in Mizunos (currently I have Waverider 11..I think...)
How many miles do you get out of them? I'm up to 483, but they still feel good?! |

Upper body weights & toning again today. Tomorrow I will run with Alison, then hopefully a longish run Saturday morning. Saturday I leave town until June 11th. So no, I won't have fallen off the face of the earth, but probably won't have any computer access until June 12th. I'll be chilling on Clearwater Beach, FL- thinking of all you running fools. (J/K) I will be visiting the in-laws down there and some of my family too (Grandmom, Aunt's family, etc) I will be running on the sand and enjoying grouper sandwiches. I've even signed up for the Spring Into Summer 5k and hopefully I won't die of heat stroke running it! Take care of yourselves dear bloggies & happy running! |

Couldn't ask for better weather this morning! Low 50's, no wind. Just perfect! Met up with Allison for a great run. She did almost 5 mi. with me and only had to stop once. We kept just under 10 min. miles. This is really good progress, she is used to only running 3 miles and stopping a few times throughout. 10 min. miles felt like an easy treat today after running under 9 on my recent training runs. After I dropped Allison off I ran 8:44 for my last mile. I see light at the end of the slow tunnel. I think if I stay consistent with a at least 2 runs on my own (not chatting with friends) a week close and keep it close to 8:30 pace I will get faster right? I think I'd just gotten lazy in my training and thought I could just go out & run without much of a plan. After vacation I'll treat myself to some new Mizunos, these will have over 500 miles on them. I'm so glad Steve got me in these shoes, they've been great! |
