Monday - April 19, 2010

Ok...I'm going to try to be more diligent about updating my site. I know it's very beneficial to me and my running progress if I'd update it daily. But for some reason I can't seem to do it and I don't know why...and it's not a time thing either!!!
............................................................
Well, a little about the Oak Island 5k. I was very happy with my finish. I started out a little faster, well a lot faster than I normally would because I wanted to beat 25:30. My first mile I was at 7:44 minutes and thought Oh My....I can't keep this up I'll never make it. I was very nervous at that point. Then when I make it to mile 2 I was like 15:40...as you see my pace had slowed a little. Then finishing 3.1 at 24:52 I was so happy! That averaged out to be an 8 minute mile.

I know that I can now do the 25's pretty good I just need to focus on mile 3 of my 5k and not slow too much. I did manage to get first place in my age group for the 3rd year in a row there. I know have this pressure put on me to continue the streak! :)

Went to the gym today and ran about a mile and then I did 60 minutes worth of aerobics with Ameron and then got back on the treadmill for another 4 miles. Felt pretty good I guess...my legs were a little tired, but mainly I was hungry!

I'm still looking to do the Battleship 1/2 in November and haven't decided yet if I'm going to do the Quintiles 1/2 or full in March...I'm just not sure I can do the full....????
