Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Nancy. I decided to retire early and my last day at the Fire District was December 31, 2020. My dream to do this pigs 'n poultry thing full time started on January 1, 2021. So far so good...

Training Runs #3 & #4

Saturday was long run day - 4 miles. It's hard to map out a route that is 4 miles, so I mapped out a route that was at least 4 miles...which actually ended up being 4.51 miles. I felt really good Saturday morning and only had one walk break after about 2.5 miles. Not bad for this girl! Made it back home in 55 minutes - for a 12:24 pace. I'll take that any day!

This week is vacation week for me so I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get my run done before going to work - yaaay!! Sleep was kind of messed up, but I still managed to drag myself out of bed a little after 6:30 to get ready to get out.

It was a perfect morning for a 3 mile run, dry, cool temperature and no wind. The only downfall was that Tom tweaked his back pretty good and couldn't run - so a little bit of a creepy run for me this morning. The first few solo runs feel a little creepy...which is okay because that just makes me get done that much quicker.

I achieved my first negative split (as far as I know) this morning! My final time was 35:29.17 (11:36 pace) and my second half was slightly quicker than the first half!! Score!

Speedwork on Wednesday 4 miles...3 x 800s with warm up and cool down.
