Week 1 run thread
What a beautiful November 7!
About 45 degrees when I went out to run. 2 x 1 mi at 6:38, 6:39 pace. (TP = 6:51) Total just around 10K in 46 minutes.
A few years ago, this was my ~56 minute route. Life is good.
Now off to the last soccer matches of the outdoor season...looks like it'll be 60+ degrees for those...no complaints for that - only problem is two kids play in different towns at the same time so I don't get to watch both! Have to coach one, so I'll have to hear the other's story after the fact. Oh well. A small damper.

Also a nice crisp fall day here in NH. Ran along the ocean, got spashed a few times by a very high tide. 2 X 1 mile repeats were 6:00 and 6:05 pace 6.8 miles total in 50 minutes, 7:10 pace for the total run.
One week down only 19 to go. Lost a few pounds this week by not eating everything in sight. Also following the Charles Barkley diet : If it tatse good, spit it out.
Did my run at the track, really nice morning. I am glad I forgot my Ipod just ran and enjoyed the outdoors. Did the full 45min run, went with the standard warmup then on to the 800's. Hit all the pace goals +or- couple of seconds which I thought was pretty good. I had 8 min left on the run when I got done with my intervals which I ran at HMP. Total miles ran was 5.10. Week one Done! 19 more to go!
Felt horrible for first 3 miles of my run today. For a while I was thinking that I shouldn't have even been out there and considered heading back. I did turn around, and ran toward where I could either bail to home or continue. I continued!! Once I started the TPace miles things clicked and I felt great! Not sure what that was all about. I guess it could have been the tail wind...but who cares! You gotta love when a run starts out poo-like and turns out great!
Bob - that Barkley quote is hilarious!!
Congrats William on smoking your old time on your local route! Little victories like that are sweet....
Great work on week 1 team!! Rest up and eat well...more to come.
Posted twice but hoping that we can get things moved over here for week 2, or just in one place anyway.
I got in my run this evening on the treadmill 2X1/2 mile 4:55 &4:55 and 1X1 @ 9:47. I felt tired today and did some walking in the warm up and cool down but got the main set in.
Even though this is my 2nd OS last year I started the bike in November and running in January. Starting both at the same time has given some extra fatigue. Good thing it's a short work week coming up for me which means some extra sleep.
