I'll keep running....
Because it gives me perspective.
Now I realize my problems aren't so big.
My life is pretty great afterall.
And a mile is a lot longer than it seems in the car.

12.2 miles outside in 1:43:33 [8:29 pace]

I looked out my window this morning as I was eating my super yummy spinach, onion, mushroom, and tomato frittata for breakfast and it looked to nice and sunny, I couldn't wait to get out for my run! Jenny has a friend in town from Hawaii so I went it alone. I remembered last minute as I was about to walk out the door that it was supposed to be chilly so I grabbed my headband and gloves and boy am I glad I did! It was freezing out there! Cold and windy and I threw a few decent hills into the route (which just so happened to all be straight into the wind of course!) So I was super excited when I calculated my pace that it was as quick as it was! I felt good the whole run other than the usual sore knees for a bit, but I was really psyched that I finished that quick considering all the factors out there!

Yeah, wasn't it chilly out there?! Brr! I have to grow a pair for next weekend and try for 5 hours. Your speed is amazing :) I think this bodes well for when you consider your next full and even half. With this type of speed, I see no reason why with proper training you could not soon be down near the 1:35 - range for a 1/2 marathon (7:30 pace). All you need is a bit of interval training. Still a no go for the 12 hour though?

Yeah, it was colder than when I was training in Dec and Jan for the marathon! Horrible! Anyway, yeah I'm really surprised every time I calculate my pace, I was barely running 5 miles at 10 minute pace just last year...and I wouldn't call what I am doing "proper training" by any means! I have started trying to throwing in a day of light hills and a bit of speed work very recently but with all the vb I am still playing it is kinda hard to keep a schedule. I am running a half May 1 in VT (eek...hills!) and I would love to hit 1:50 then spend the summer really figuring out how to train for real for the half in Sept. and maybe, just maybe the Mohawk marathon in Oct......
