I never knew I could run that fast...

How Fast... Well a 7:28 min/mile for 2 miles.

I went to the fitness center to run with at co-worker yesterday. I knew he ran faster than I, so I told him I would keep up with him for just a bit.

7.0 mph turned to 7.5 which turned to 8.0 which went to 8.5... Then to finish it all off the last 1/4 mile was even faster. Ended up at 10 mph.

Yes, I did it, but I was whooped.

Till next time!

Another Great Week!

Sunday brought another challenging run, so the first thing I had to do was get my Breakfast :).

I started at about 8:30AM, and like usual the first 4 miles seemed a bit rough. I must admit I wasn't as hydrated as I would have liked. But this was to be expected since I had a great birthday party on Friday night. Needless to say, Friday night wasn't a hydrating night, well it was, but not with H2O :)

Anywho, Saturday was a lazy day so I did get some fluids in. We had the Company party on Sat. night which ended up being lame so I was able to get to bed at a decent time. But I digress...

Back to Sunday and running, the treadmill at the fitness center only goes a max of 99 minutes. So my long runs get a little cut up. This time I did 7.0 in 69:20 min. Then I stop the mill, restarted and ran another 8.

During the 8 mile section, I put my towel over the screens so I didn't see how I was doing. I knew the speed but didn't know the distance. I was planning on running 2.5 hours, taking me to 11:00. I actually felt pretty damn good.

At 10:57ish, I took off the towel to see how I was doing, I found I was only .3 miles from the 8. I finished it in 79:20!

This made my 15 miles in 2:27:40 a 9:51/mile pace. This is great! This means if I can keep this up, I will make my goal of 4.5 hours on March 2nd...

Only 33 days left! I can't believe it! This is going to be here soon!

Thanks for reading! feel free to leave me a comment :)
