SUMMARY:
4 miles, 44:10 = 11:02 min/mile pace
Avg heart rate = 186
While I’m posting workout summaries, I should recap last Thursday’s run. I ran from the apartment complex, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to get any exercise in during my busy weekend in Atlanta. I’d only planned to do a 5K, but my guilt over having lost so much fitness since the marathon four months ago got to me, and I ended up doing a nice round 4 miles. Summer is coming, and the weather is getting warmer, and I know this means I will run less, and less. I hate the heat and humidity so much: UGH.
But last summer I hardly ran at all and I paid for it in September when I started marathon training. In fact, had I continued to run at least once or twice a week during the summer, I think I might have finished the marathon as much as 5 or 10 minutes faster. C’est la vie.
This summer, as I think I may have already mentioned, my goal is to maintain at least an 11:00/mile 10K level of fitness… 🙂
