Pace: 9:17. I am happy with my time. I overdressed so I felt weighted down.

Observation: I always start out slow. This is most likely a mental habit more than a physical necessity.  By mile 3, I am typically lost in my thoughts and usually forget to pick up my pace. 

Take Away:

  • Figure out how to dress for the cold weather.
  • Be more cognizant of my mileage and pace.

Pace: 7:50  

  • 1 mile on the treadmill.

Obsevation:

  • This was much harder than I had imagined. 
  • I don't like running on a treadmill.

Take Away:

  • Warm-up before I go all out. I put a lot of undue strain on some previous hamstring injuries. 
  • This was a good reminder to stretch after a run.

Pace: 10:08

Observation:

  • Dressed more appropriately for the cold weather - less layers on my legs
  • Mile 8 and 12 are always a killer - mentally - whcih then affects me physically
  • The wind did not affect me mentally!

Take-away:

  • I can run when it is windy
  • I can push through my mentall roadblocks

Pace: I did not track my run.

Observation:

I was scheduled to run a 5K race. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the venue. I missed the race. I cried and cried on the side of the road. This was not my finest moment!

Take Away:

  • I have phone numbers of other runners in case something like this happens again.
  • I downloaded Google Maps onto my phone. Siri was of little help in getting me to my destination. It is pretty sad when Siri says, I'm trying to help you." My frustration must have been coming out loud and clear.
