Wow, how much do I suck on the blogging front. My recent posts have been quite sporadic.
I went to the gym today to knock out 4 easy miles. I was feeling pretty good and I had a lot on my mind. That combo always leads to me pushing myself.
I've been doing all my runs on the treadmill at a 1.0 incline for maybe the past month. It sucks that I can't get out on the road, so I figure I better make treadmill running a wee bit harder.
Mile 1: 5.5 (11:00/mile)
Mile 2.0 - 2.5: 5.8 (10:40/mile)
Mile 2.5 - 3.0: 6.0 (10:00/mile)
Mile 3: 6.2 (9:40/mile)
Mile 4.0 - 4.75: 6.5 (9:20/mile)
Mile 4.75 - 5.0: don't remember, but it was just under a 9 minute mile pace
Total was 4 miles in about 40:10.
When I'm done with my marathon, I'm going to have a take a crack at trying to run 3 miles at 9:30 pace to see how close I am to the New Year's goal I made back in January. I know a few weeks ago I did 3 miles at 9:40 pace.
Tomorrow is my last longish run before NWM. 8 or 10 miles, I haven't decided yet. Wow, I can't believe it's so close!
