  1. Out of the loop...maybe I can brave the cold on Saturday

  2. alrightRubyConf 5k 2.82 mi / 00:31 11:09 pace

    Didn't eat breakfast, so was hungry by the time the race started. Lagged quite a bit!

  3. alrightTypical 5k Practice 3.33 mi / 00:37 11:12 pace

    Difficult. Tried to increase pace prior to the RubyConf 5k. Wasn't too successful. http://bit.ly/6nAJGi

  4. greatTypical 5k Practice 3.33 mi / 00:36 10:45 pace

    Really pushed myself and beat my 11min mile goal! YES!!! I was really huffing and puffing at the end. http://bit.ly/3xVJ1v

  5. goodTypical 5k Practice 3.49 mi / 00:42 12:06 pace

    After two abortive attempts this morning, ran before dinner. Really tried to keep my pace faster (was shooting for 11min mile) but I may have been too tired out from scraping the garage all day :/ http://bit.ly/473uhW

  6. Saturday's Goal: 11 minute mile!

  7. greatTypical 5k Practice 3.59 mi / 00:42 11:47 pace

    Really tried to increase my speed, but ended up with only a slightly better pace. Surprisingly, the route near the ballpark wasn't too busy. This brings my 5k time down to 36:52. Pretty close to my time a year ago, when I only really started running... read more

      OK I guess I shaved 45s/mi off my last time :)

      Yeah, a few days I really had to force myself to keep running past a mile. It hurt but it was so worth it!

      It's so difficult in the beginning, I know... I'm there. I'm hoping that eventually it will get easier. I'm doing a 5k run/walk on Sunday, November 22 and wonder "am I ready?". I choose what I do, and this is my choice to run.

  8. greatTypical 5k Practice 3.5 mi / 00:43 12:20 pace

    Felt great! Fast start. Perceived fast pace throughout, but other runners showed me up. It helped to try and keep pace with them. It's getting dark too soon! http://bit.ly/2f2IXu

  9. blahTypical 5k Practice 3.36 mi / 00:40 12:01 pace

    Slowly bringing up my speed, despite the miserable weather. Windy, 40s, gray. Probably should have waited longer after lunch, too :p http://bit.ly/4ehrVk

  10. alrightTypical 5k Practice 3.1 mi / 00:38 12:24 pace

    A bit more difficult - aching. Running in wide open areas seems to help motivate me - want to get to the other side quickly. http://bit.ly/2QbGDy

      Are you using RunKeeper Pro or the free version?

      Free version. I don't remember what the pro version has but it wasn't enoughto convince me at the tome to get it.

      How do you find it in terms of accuracy? Not that accuracy is based on the software as much as it is based on the device....

      It's pretty bad - I usually have to edit the route afterward. it's a good ballpark estimate, though. One of these times I might try another app I have that's just dedicated to GPS logging to see if there's a difference.
