| Ran after church. The weather wasn't too bad and the roads were dry!!! I normally take a break on Sunday, but because I cut yesterday's run short, I decided to make up for it. I only had time for 9. I tried again (unsuccessfully to run 8:20s..I've got 21 days to get that pace comfortably) AP: 8: 12 46F, N10-15, cloudy

First run in my new Mizuno Wave Alchemy's. The shoes felt great, but I felt sluggish. Very windy, but temperature wasn't too bad. Ran w/ Dave and Darin (all at our own individual paces). My Garmin battery died, so I'm guessing I was about 8:00/mi.
AP: 8:00

I was mentally prepared to endure a lunchtime run on the treadmill, but Dave and Darin convinced me to run outside (28F, 5MPH wind, sunny). I'm glad I ran outside.
We started out with a 6:56 first mile. I'm not sure why we went so fast, I think Dave wanted to run the entire 8 miles at 7:00/mi (and he did). Ran 2 miles to "the pond", then did 7 laps, then headed back. The weather wasn't bad, and the pace felt fairly comfortable (Half mary race pace)
It looks like our final long run before a 2 week taper will be on Sunday. We're thinking about racing a 5K on Saturday morning...it might be a Saturday morning decision for me (I'd hate to injure myself this close to Cowtown - 17 days out)
AP: 7:09'

Decided to stretch the lungs and legs a little this morning. Ran a 5K race. My buddy, Dave was there, and he was healthy. I started with a 6:05 first mile (flat), then a 6:53 (uphill), then a solid 6:35 3rd mile..and sub 6:00 for the last .1, for a 20:25. Not a PR by any stretch, but I was happy only finishing 8 seconds behind my buddy, Dave.
We placed 2nd and 3rd (out of 14) in our AG. Took home a ceramic Buffalo trophy and a doorprize gift certificate to a Mexican restaurant.
The weather was nice. 42F, no wind, and sunny. I'd like to order this same weather for Cowtown. |
