| Straw...the promise of a new spring lawn
On Tuesday, I ran 2.63 miles in 30 minutes. That is an average of a 11.4 minute mile! This is great progress for me and meets my goal of 12 minutes per mile.
Wednesday, I ran the same route and it took me 38 minutes. This is an average of 14.4 minutes per mile. WTF???!!!! I really thought I did better on this day. I ran (as opposed to walking) more than the day before and I felt better and faster. I guess I could have been tired from the day before? Or... I could have miscalculated yesterday's run time. Discouraging. Very discouraging. I'm trying to get over it and just move on.
Saturday, I ran more than I have in my life! I did 6.2 miles in 88 minutes. That's a 14.2 minute mile. I just can't believe I ran that distance, but I will say that according to the race results from last year, I will literally be bringing up the rear if I don't improve my time. Hoooo well. There's still lots of time before the race.

6.2 miles is great, you should be extremely pleased with that. I once read somewhere that only a small percentage, it was under 1%, of people can run 5 miles.
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to keep up the good work! A kind friend once told me that pace will develop, it's the stamina you build now that counts. And for what it's worth, I didn't run a marathon until I was 34 :-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Wendy! This huffing and puffing walker is in awe of you.
ReplyDeleteWith your energy, I don't think I can keep up with you though. Keep up the good work.
