I am like a robotic running machine...
If you have been reading my blog over the past year, (if I still have any readers-since hardly anyone comments anymore)...you know I have been on a weight loss/exercise kick over the past year and a half. I went from walking (at a snails pace) just around 2 miles last summer, to running and running fast. I am so ready to run my first 5 k...and on Sept 12th, here in West Lafayette, that is exactly what I am going to do. I am so excited for the chance to do this. I have been reading some running blogs and I can't believe the mileage and the speed of some runners out there. Women just like me. As you read from my previous post, On Tuesday night, I ran 10 miles....for my long run of the week. Thursday night, I ran 4 miles...but for the first 3.1 miles, I timed myself...my pace was as follows.
Mile 1- 9 minutes
Mile 2 8 minutes, 50 seconds
Mile 3 9 minutes 25 seconds
Mile .10-1 minute
Total time...28 minutes 15 seconds....I kicked ass....
Then I ran an extra mile, Mile 4, 10 minutes...
So, that was 4 miles in 38 minutes. Tonight, I am just going to run 3.1, see if I can improve on that time. 2 weeks to go, and I am going to be ready!
