Week in Review...

Photobucket


I had another great week or running. Aside from today the weather has been pretty nice this week, especially in the morning when I'm running. But before I put down my splits let me tell you that Heather has started running. She's going to race her first 5k on the 29th. She did a practice run the other day and did it in 32 minutes with her fastest mile at 9:13 m/mile. I'm so proud of her I wanted to make sure I got her in my blog.

Today we did a church event at the park. I was out in the sun from 11 AM to about 2:30 and then got home unloaded the car and then had my running clothes and out the door to run by 3:45. I had my water bottle with me with gatorade, I knew I would need it.

1- 9:27
2- 9:07
3- 9:04
4- 9:21
5- 9:20

I took a gator break after 3 miles for about 30 seconds. I didn't want to pass out or suffer from heat stroke. After that I knew I was going to make it home. Total run time 46:30, 9:18 m/mile


Friday was probably my favorite run. It was really foggy outside and even though my legs started off a little bit tight I was very much enjoying the fog. I'm not sure why. I literally felt like running the clouds, which I guess makes sense. I had mist on my arms and in my hair.

1- 9:49
2- 9:30
3- 9:02
4- 8:52
5- 8:53
6- 8:28

Total run time 54:34, 9:06 m/mile

And my fastest easy run ever on Wednesday. I was simply cruising. I think it was because the weather was cool at 64% degrees.
5.5 miles in 46:54, 8:32 m/mile.
