17.400.0017.40

Pace: 9:52

Conditions:

  • 47° (feels like 42°)
  • Winds N 6mph

Observations:

  • I am back from a 10 day vacation. My running was a mess. I had not planned on 15 inches of snow and no treadmill. On the days where the temperatures melted the roadways adequately for pedestrian safety, I tried to accumulate high mileage.
  • My goal today was to run 18 miles. I fell short both physically and mentally.
  • I managed to complete 16 miles just under the 2:40:00 goal.
  • Tomorrow is a new day. Sometimes that is as good as it gets.

6.200.006.20

Pace: 9:45

Conditions:

  • 32° (feels like 25°)
  • Winds ESE 11mph

Observations:

  • I made a concerted effort to run my easy, fast pace (even on my final mile)
  • Mentally, I felt so much better about my long-term running
  • I am not sure why I feel compelled to push, push, push.  I never really allow for adequate recovery time. I know that leads to burnout which is probably what I am experiencing at the moment.

Pace: 10:00 (rolling hills)

Conditions:

  • 61°
  • Winds SSE 14 mph

Observations:

  • Today's focus was to concentrate on nutrition and running the first part of my run slower than the second part. I succeeded with both goals.
  • I picked up my pace at mile 16. I still had a lot of energy if I had chosen to run more miles.
  • Next week, I will increase my speed for the first part of my run to hover around 9:50. With this faster pace, I'll have a clearer idea as to how much I can realistically push my pace and at what mile that increase should begin.
  • There is no way that I would have finished 26.2 miles under 4:00:10 today with my slow pace at the start.
  • My final 4 miles were at a pace of 9:38.
