That was fun. I got to run with Joey - and we really could have just kept running and running except that I had a pedicure appointment so I needed to get back.

Here's when I wasn't quite recovered from our vacation. I couldn't go very far, but I did speed up quite a bit. Nice to know that at a mile, I can go much faster. Some day, I'd like to run a 5K in under 30 minutes.

A Muggy Day...
Date of run: 04.23.2011
Distance: 5.83 miles
Duration: 01:08:56
Avg Pace: 11:49 min/mile
Route: MapMyRun
Saturday's run was hot and sticky. It was definitely muggy out and I wish I had hydrated better before my run, but I took the time when I could. I was aiming to complete 6 miles, but I guess I didn't run quite far enough away from home.
Instead of running the pretty parts in the beginning, I ran the boring parts. It made the final few miles a lot more interesting.
I hope that running 5.83 miles will make 5 miles now my easy run -- and that 6 miles is attainable some time this week. The hard part is that I'm going to be travelling, so fitting in runs may be difficult.

But I don't wannnnnnnnnaaaaa....
Distance: 5.04 miles
Duration: 56:24 (just under an hour!)
Avg Pace: 11:11 min/mile (that's pretty darn good for an easy run!)
Route: MapMyRun
I'm actually shocked that I ran 5 miles on my lunch break today. I really really didn't feel up to it when I got my shoes on. I didn't feel like running for an hour -- told that to a friend on IM, even. But once I got started, just after the 2 mile mark, and after all the pretty parts of my usual route, I turned left instead of right and made the commitment to running at least 4 miles.
Then, just before the 3.5 mile mark I decided to go for it and ran across at the light. This meant I was committing to at least 4 miles, maybe more.
The last 3/4 mile was rough and real hard to keep up. I got a horrible side stitch and almost stopped running altogether.
But then I rounded the corner and made it home.
I'm very proud of my "easy run." I'm very happy how mellowed out I feel after it. There was definitely a point when my mind was at a complete blank and there was a time when I was just lost in my thoughts. Not too bad for a lunch break run.

Thursday's Run - Brought to you by beauty.
Distance: 5.26 miles!
Duration: 01:01:09 (yup, just over an hour!)
Avg Pace: 11:37 min/mile (slower than my easy run, but still acceptable by all means!)
Route: MapMyRun
I didn't get a chance to update on Thursday but I'm so proud of this run! Over 5 miles is a HUGE deal. HUGE!
It was a really pretty run, too. I saw DUCKS. actual DUCKS. and a bright green fly that followed me for a mile. Some squirrels. A dead deer (ew!). And the most beautiful flowers throughout the trees. It was sunny. The weather was great.
I ran farther than I've run in a very long time. I'm very very proud of myself.
