Sherrielsb

Frustrating weekend, with my husband out of town and a sick child. She slept better last night so I am hoping to lace up tomorrow morning and get a run in, should be able to get in a mile today though during swim lessons.

3.25 mile run in 35:35, Avg Pace 10:57, Splits 11:39 - 10:44 - 10:24 - last 0.25 miles in 2:48(11:12mm), 78F, DP 73F, off and on drizzle, wind 20mph and gusting higher.

Based on my new 5k PR from this weekend, my Mcmillan training paces changed to faster times.

Recovery: 11:26 - 11:56
Long Run: 10:26 - 11:26
Easy Run: 10:26 - 10:56

This was supposed to be an easy run, close enough I guess, lol. Will take time for me to get used to the faster paces.

Debby was kind enough to time the squalls around my running after work. So, while it was still windy, I didn't have to deal with heavy rain and severe storms. The first mile was rough for me, legs felt dead and very tight. I reminded myself that I usually loosen up and feel better after warming up a bit. It worked, I was starting to get into the groove and loosen up, then I got out of my Apartment's parking lot and onto the sidewalk by the street and turned into a 20mph headwind with gusts, lol. I didn't get out of that till shortly before the start of the 2nd mile when I made another left onto a more sheltered street. So, between my rough legs at the start, and the headwind later, the first split was pretty slow compared to the rest of the times.

Lots of debris from the storms, small branches mostly and a few medium sized ones. It wasn't on my running route, but when I walked to work after lunch earlier in the day, I came across a tree that had been blown over and completely blocked the sidewalk. Didn't see much wildlife, they were probably hunkering down somewhere. Did see another guy though that gave me a thumbs up as I ran by

Those paces are guidelines. Don't feel like you have to push that pace down to what McMillan says. I think it's more important to make sure you are not running faster than those paces than anything else. I little slower is not going to hurt your fitness. If a little slower pace feels right, run it. Listen to what your body tells you.

Hallelujah!! THe kids slept through the night!!!! I got up and was out the door by 5:20, and it felt so good to be out running (jogging actually) not that fast yet. Went a total of 4 1/2 miles, and finished my first in 14:40- my best time ever for a mile. Managed to keep the rest at around 15 min pace. Legs, are a little sore but swim lessons are in a couple hours for the kids and I can walk around and stretch them out a bit more then

Total for the month- 12 1/2

I've been injured for a couple weeks and that's why I haven't posted but I'm back at it and I want to let you know that on Sun June 24, I did 3 miles. Today Tues, June 26, I did 3 miles.

Just ran 6 miles. Set a PR both in terms of full mileage (52:01) and my fastest mile ever (8:28)! Not bad for a 40 year old chick who has only been running for just over a year and is less than 10 weeks out of major surgery!!

06/26 - 4.4miles

Total for week: 4.4
Total for month: 35/50
Miles to go: 15

Um, yeah....I don't think I can make it this month. 15 isn't much for most on this board but I know I'd be risking injury if I increased my milage that quickly. And I have a 1/2 marathon inline skate on Sunday that I don't want to be toast for. Disappointed in myself for falling behind last week. But I'll keep trying and do the best I can!

14 mile trail run

13 miles today, and didn't add the 6.3 to my ticker on Sunday, so have fixed that on today's one.

That brings me up to 81 miles, with a few days still to go! :-)

hewhoiscd

(Today's run brings me up to 7.8 miles for the week, and 73.6 miles for the month.)

4.51 mile run in 47:49.65, Avg Pace 10:37, Splits 10:54.79 - 10:42.18 - 10:43.75 - 10:18.9 - last 0.51 miles in 5:10.03, 84F, DP 79F!, sunny, wind 20mph and gusty, BC 5/5 for 3miles then 4/4 the rest of the way.

Once again, lucked out with the timing of my run after work with Debby's squalls, although they seem to be coming through less frequently lately. Felt much better at the start of today's run than yesterday. Actually seemed pretty easy, like I could have kept running for quite awhile still. This surprised me, given how I felt yesterday and the high Dew Point today.

Today's wildlife tally: A white heron, a lesser heron and a great blue heron. Lots of ducks, including a momma duck with 2 young ducks in tow. Lots of lizards enjoying the sun. Oh, and a very dead frog.

just do your best. it's better to know your limits and stay within them than to injure yourself and be laid up for who knows how long. next month???
