Running was a bust this week. I was supposed to go Wed and Thurs, but I had to teach my class at its scheduled time instead of early like we've been doing. I stayed at school to grade papers instead of going out to run (I'm an idiot for collecting a research paper 2 weeks before finals and Xmas. I've been busting my rear to get them done. My plans weren't supposed to work that way, but my son was in the hospital in the beginning of the week I was originally supposed to start the paper, so I had to push it back till the next week).
Anyway, I ran 4.2 miles in 33 minutes. I was in Chicago and ran on my sister's treadmill. I had limited time, so I did what I could. I warmed up 1.2 miles, and then did 3 miles at 7:30 pace. I was pretty proud of the pace I was able to sustain, but I'm still convinced that I would not be able to do that outside. |
