I am feeling fairly proud of myself tonight!
Not only did I run 5 miles with somebody else (bonus!) but I ran five miles (even more bonus!) and I even did the right workout for my training (ding! ding! ding! extra super bonus round!)
On with the run report....
RunKeeper Result
Distance: 5.13 Miles
Duration: 53:55
Avg Pace: 10:30 (!!!!! more on this later)
Avg Speed: 5.71 mph
Climb: 113 feet
Weather: Balmy 83 degrees, low humidity
What I ate:
- Pasta for lunch, NUUN around 5pm, then water and two mozzarella sticks during happy hour, and a banana on my way to run - though I felt the banana around mile 3.5. 2 full bottles of water, starting around noon.
Tonight's run was 2 miles steady, then 7 1 minute intervals of run fairly fast, then rest, then 2 miles steady. I began running with a Pacers friend for the first two miles and mentioned that I was half training. She indicated that she too was training for the same race, but was without her GPS watch. I told her I was running intervals and she obliged to join me.
Hooray!
Well her "running steady pace" was probably an aerobic interval for me (oh well) so the first two miles we averaged about 10:23 per mile - which is pretty awesome for me! I think I goofed on the splits, because looking at the pace, it's all over the place, but we did seem to get two splits of under 10 (even an 8:11!) Finally, the last 2 miles was run at a pace of 10:40/mile.
I would just like to point out that this is the fastest I've ever run a pacers run - let alone a 5M pacers run.
<-- Gold Star
So that's all for tonight - I'm rightfully exhausted and ready to sleep. Tomorrow is Lost Dog 5k #2, so you'll see more about that tomorrow.
