total mileage: 18.2 miles
ran: 14 miles
walked: 4.2 miles
I ran 2.6 miles, this morning. We had a busy weekend - it being Easter and all, so it was nice to have a nice, relaxed run today. Even though it was only mid-morning, it felt really humid as well as warm. . . and it still looks rather dreary and rainy outside. Anyway. Back to statistics: I ran the first mile of my run in 6 minutes. Then I finished up the last 1.6 miles at a 7ish minute/a mile.
4-22-14 Tuesday
Off day from running. Instead I: did 60 minutes of stretching (using P90X's X Stretch program) and took a 2.2 mile walk (to the post office with the little sister:)
4-23-14 Wednesday
I ran 3.2 miles this morning! I really enjoy the "feel" of early morning runs, (plus: there's not so many people out and about, who faint (read: gawk) at the sight of a girl running IN A SKIRT) so I try to schedule my daily quotidien courir accordingly. I ran 2 of the 3.2 miles at a 6 minute/a mile pace, and the final 1.2 at a slightly slower pace.
4-24-14 Thursday
Despite the weather (it was raining. . .just a *ahem* little) I got out this morning and ran 3 miles. I ran all three miles at a 6.5 minute/a mile pace. (Maybe because it was wet, rainy and a bit chilly. . . haha) But anyway: I felt great during the run, and even though I was running at a faster pace than I usually do, didn't feel exhausted.
4-25-14 Friday
It was an off day from running today - and even though I am excited to "break in" my new running shoes, I was actually glad I didn't have to be running; the weather was frightful. (howling winds don't make running easy) So, I decided to engage in the following:
2.0 mile walk (yes, in the frightful, howling wind :)
300 reps of Ab Exercises
30 "real" pushups
stretching
4-26-14 Saturday
Finally: back to running. :) The off day made it seem like an eternity since I last ran. . .Anyhoo. I got up early this morning and went for a 5.2 mile run, which I completed in 42 minutes. I wasn't trying to go super fast, in fact: I probably did this run a little slower than my normal runs. I ran today's 5.2 miler at a 8 minute/a mile pace, rather than the 7 minute/a mile pace that I usually run at. It felt great to get out, and go for a longer run. :) Today's run was only one mile shy of my race-day goal: 6.2 miles. :)
Excelsior and, as always: keep running!
