This morning I ran 11.3 miles at a slow 7:18 pace in 1:22. I ran with the dog for the first 8 miles then the last three miles I wanted to do under 7 minutes which was accomplished. I want to start doing more marathon pace runs in my training leading up to the September 1st marathon so I'm really really feel I'm ready. I also plan to run the Top Of Utah marathon two weeks after that... I keep forgetting to reserve a hotel. I'm very nervous about the September 1st marathon, because I feel this is an important goal for me to be under 2:50, I wish some of you guys could come up and pace me on this race.
I was very tired this morning because I stayed up till 11pm to put together our new treadmill that got here two days before we were expecting it. It's a very nice treadmill that will support the weight of 450 pounds, and has a lifetime warranty on everything including the belt. The speed will go up to 11mph.. Note: I will probably run on my lunch hour today at the health club. Lunch 2.8 on the treadmill. First mile I ran at a 7 minute pace and the second till the end at a 6:20 pace. After the run I did some strength training on my hamstrings, calves and quads. I'll probably be sore tomorrow. |
