Wow - training and consistency work! I am actually running faster - faster than I can ever remember, faster than I was a few months ago... I can look back over my training and see how much I have improved. I can even look at this point and I can tell when I have the stroller with me and when I don't. The stroller adds a minute to a minute 30 to my per mile pace. My per mile pace is around a solid 15:30-15:00 (fast enough for runDisney! :) )
And do you see that right there? My pace tonight was UNDER 15:00 per mile! And I ran at 9:30 at night (yep, night) in the pitch black on my empty country road. Great run, no cars, no people, nothing but coyotes howling in the distance. I will do similar dark runs again, but the dogs and my flashlight/headlamp will come with me every time.
I have not hit all my weekly goals this week, but I am moving forward and feeling really good about it.
I love your idea of 50 races in 50 places. When you are ready to come to Oregon, I've got lots of recommendations for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am still trying to get the first one under my belt, but the thought of such a big goal really motivates me. And I will totally hit you up for suggestions in Oregon!
