8 Miles? 56:00 7:00 average per mile?
7:30 pm)
Not sure on the distance for sure. I know the time is right.
I'm running on the treadmill for about 35 minutes and it just
shuts of with no warning. I almost fell down from the sudden
stop. I was timing the run with my watch so I knew the time
but not the distance. I was running around 8.5 to 9.0 so I would
say I averaged 7:00 miles. I guess I was running so fast it blew
a fuse. Hahaha.
I felt less sore tonight so that's a plus. Tomorrow I plan on doing
some track with a friend or two of mine. Plan is 1000 meter repeats
with 200 jogs. The forecast shows rain so will see if we do it.

Still sore from Saturdays half marathon. Felt okay otherwise.

Dick Lytie Half Marathon

12.84 course was short. 1:19:20 6:11 average per mile
10:00 am) low 30's sunny and windy
Course was not 13.1 but around 12.84 according to my GPS.
My time would be around 1:21:00 if it was 13.1. My PR was
1:21:40 last fall on a flat course. This course has hills.
So I am very happy to PR on a course like this and the
temperature was not ideal.
Going into this race I felt a bit flat. This weeks training
felt harder than normal. So I was not to cofident on how my
performance would be today.
Here is the mile splits:
Mile/Pace
1/6:02
2/6:35 Hill
3/6:06
4/6:34 Hill
5/6:02
6/6:03
7/6:22 Hill
8/6:26 Hill
9/6:05
10/6:04
11/5:58
12/6:10
12.84/5:53 (4:58:17)
As you can see my pace was consistent other than when I hit hiils.
I'm looking forward to my next half marathon in 3 weeks. It is on
a much easier course. If I can run low 6's I should PR again.

Not as good as last Wednesdays workout. I feel like I'm hitting
a plateau in my training. It might take a few weeks to get back
to improving. I am racing Saturday so I'm a bit concerned with
how I will perform.

8 Miles 54:10 6:46 average per mile
7:00 pm)
Felt pretty good. Had more energy than last night. I pushed the
pace pretty hard. Outside 6:46 is not all that hard for me but
on the mill 6:46 is a hard workout. I was spent when I got off.
Tomorrow is track workout if I recover from this and it's not
raining.

6 Miles 40:49 6:48 per mile average
5:35 pm) upper 30's sprinkles & windy
Took it a little bit easier the first 4 miles then I pushed
the last 2 miles. Did not feel very energized tonight. I think
I need to take it easy this week.
On a non running note I'm in a NCAA pool at work and I'm not
doing so well. I'm currently 13th out of 15. The good news is
I'm still in it though. I could end up with 7 of the 8 in the
elite 8 if it all works out. I picked Memphis to win it all.
I won last year but not looking so good this year.
