  1. RUN
    great Neighborhood 3 mi 00:21 07:00 pace

    Started slow but felt like pushing it. First mile 7:30, last mile 6:20.

  2. RUN
    good Blackwater Creek 11.18 mi 01:34 08:24 pace

    I was able to slow it down and stay pretty steady. It didn't feel any easier though. I think I overworked on hill repeats on Thursday.

    good Neighborhood 4.12 mi 00:32 07:42 pace

    I'm trying to slow down my pace and I can't do it. I think I'm going to go insane. Does anyone else have this problem?

      When I have dropped my running down to a few days a week, I could always run fast because I always ran recovered. Now that I run every day, there are days I NEED to run slow, from fatigue, working hard, soreness, etc. that teach me how to hold back when I want to. I used to have 2 speeds: on and off. Now I have loads of speeds (granny run, jiggity, jog, easy run, run, fast run, track running).
      Maybe start with fartleks so you can feel different speeds within your run (even if your overall pace is fast)

    great Around Liberty 4.62 mi 00:33 07:07 pace

    Fine running weather. Good course. Yet another hidden secret.

  5. RUN
    good Waterlick/TJ/460 10 mi 01:18 07:47 pace

    My first long run in quite awhile (feels like it at least). I wanted to and could have run longer but decided to show some discipline for a change. Discipline?! ME?!

  6. RUN
    good Blackwater Creek 5 mi 00:35 07:00 pace

    Worked pretty hard. I have a 10k coming up and I need to be ready!

  7. RUN
    alright TM 6 mi 00:48 07:55 pace

    These after dinner runs don't do it for me.

  8. RUN
    good Neighborhood shorty 3.02 mi 00:22 07:13 pace

    All I had time for. I thought I'd have an endless supply of time after grad school :(

    Long run tomorrow (I hope).

  9. RUN
    great Spring into spring 4 miler 4 mi 00:26 06:29 pace

    Pretty good time if I do say so myself. 8th place yet again and another 1st AG. I'm going for the sweep this summer!

      Mr Ralph - what a race to skip! Taking my time from last year's race (when it was Issy's Race for Life), I would have placed 3rd in my AG! After Saturday's half, however, I doubt I could have run a 7:30 ish pace for 4 miles. Oh well, maybe next time.

    great Blackwater Creek 6 mi 00:43 07:10 pace

    I haven't been running NEARLY as much as I'd like. I was happy to get this one in but probably shouldn't have pushed so hard the day before a race. We shall see.

  11. RUN
    great Up and down Wyndhurst 6 mi 00:44 07:19 pace

    I felt GREAT (just like the happy face says). I got faster with every mile and ended up running a 6:30 last mile. This is good if I plan to finally get my sub 40 10k this year.

  12. RUN
    good Angels Race 3.1 mi 00:21 06:46 pace

    Sadly, I'm no triathlete. I was asked to run in the relay and so I did. I felt guilt passing so many people on the 3rd leg of their event. I kept telling them they were doing great and that... read more

  13. RUN
    great Blackwater Creek 10 mi 01:19 07:52 pace

    I liked the new Mizunos but I'm not sure they can beat a pair of Kinvaras.

    Ready to test drive some Mizunos.

    Point of Honor 5k at the start of the race, when I still look strong. I didn't look quite so strong at the end.

      I was a little tight at first. I felt better at the end of the run than I did at the beginning.

    9th overall and another 1st place AG. So far, 2013 has been just fine.

  18. RUN
    great Percival's Island 5 mi 00:34 06:52 pace

    My family left me for the week. I guess I should run. I gave about all I could give on this run. Like the great Salt N' Pepa once said, "Push it, push it real good."

      Did you just use "great" and "Salt N' Pepa" in the same sentence? Nice run, though. Gearing up for Point of Honor. There's some prize money in it for you if you can finish in the top 3!
