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 :)

Marathon by McDonalds:

I have decided that there is one thing that is VERY complimentary to my training. The Sausage McMuffin® with Egg, Hash Browns and a Large Coffee. This magnificent breakfast meal makes a huge difference in the performance of my running.

According to their web site this meal totals 590 Calories. it has to be the perfect combination of Protein, Carbs and fat.

I can tell such a difference the days that I eat it... I am actually considering calling this the best breakfast ever :)

Am I CrazY? You may say yes, but for me, as long as it works.. I don't care!

Blah!

So last week was a bust!

A lot happened, and it got me in a mess of a workout schedule... I must admit, that I was pretty deflated last week after such a cruddy running outcome.

I am hoping that this week will get me back on track to finish the road to Sarasota!
