7 miles at 6:20am. Weather=83 degrees, 52% humidity, 64 dew point, 0 mph wind, sunrise. Average pace= 9:22/m Ran 3.5 miles out and back to my house. I was feeling sluggish and tired. I figured I was dehydrated so when I came back to my house I drank a bunch of water, reset my watch and went back out on a different route also 3.5 miles. After drinking water I felt much better. The second route actually had more hills but it felt easier. Mile 1- 9:29 Mile 2- 9:24 Mile 3- 9:37 Mile 3.5-9:19 Waterstop at my house Mile 1- 9:32 Mile 2- 9:04 Mile 3- 9:11 Mile 3.5- 9:15 --------------------------- Race: The Fort Worth Running Club's High Noon Shoot Out 1.2 miles at high noon whilst pushing Jake in the running stroller Weather=95 degrees, 40% humidity, 5 mph wind, sunny. It was HOT! The reason I'm not putting this in a race report is because I was pushing Jake in the running stroller. I put Jake in a tanktop and pinned a running bib to it. He gave me updates all through the race about what other people were doing. He was concerned that there was a man on a bike who passed us on the trail during the race that was not holding onto the handle bars. (He'll be 4 yrs in September) This was an informal race. The gun time was what we went by... I got 9:45 for the 1.2 miles officially. However, I was pretty far back from the starting line (and the only one with a running stroller). I started my garmin timer when I passed the starting line so I guess my "chip time" was what my garmin recorded= 9:10 for 1.2 miles (7:46/m) Mile 1- 7:52 Final .2 - 7:15 pace I think my time would have been better for the first mile but I got stuck behind some slower runners for the first .1-.2 mile... I finally went into the grass to get around them... and pushing a stroller through grass was a pretty big drag on my energy. I would have liked to see what I could of have done without the running stroller. Put a picture from this race as my new profile picture. |
