Since the last time I posted I've actually put in quite a few runs.
March 30th: 2.31 miles in 20:39 (avg. pace 8:57/mile)
April 1st: 1.26 miles in 12:04 (avg. pace 9:34/mile)
April 4th: 2.50 miles in 22:29 (avg. pace 9:00/mile)
April 6th: 2.52 miles in 24:05 (avg. pace 9:33/mile)
April 10th: 1.33 miles in 24:17 (avg. pace 18:13/mile.....this was me bringing Mabel for a walk)
April 12th: 2.92 miles in 26:54 (avg. pace 9:12/mile)
Which brings us to today. I upped my mileage so that I was finally in the 3-mile mark. Truth be told, I was pissed on Tuesday that I ended my run just shy of three miles. Grrrrr. It was a windy run today and I've come to the conclusion that there are few things worse than running head-on into the Nevada wind. Not only is it bracingly cold but it comes at you with such force that it can stop a person in their tracks.
I wish my body had felt as good as my soul on the run today. I spent the majority of my run trying to focus on something other than the hotspot that began to form on the outside of my right big toe. And if it wasn't my toe, it was the tendon on the inside of my left foot, just sort of messing with me. No matter. I trudged through and did 3.14 (Pi!) miles in 32: 45-average pace of 10:27/mile. My slowest pace yet, but considering I was feeling pretty lousy I'm going to consider it an accomplishment. Today marks the longest distance I've run since training started and I officially hit my "most miles run in a month" on RunKeeper. Woohoo, go me!
Now that I've hit the 3-mile mark there is no going back from here. Four miles by middle of next week! Wish me luck!
