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.
