Distance: 3.5 miles
Duration: 33:50
Avg Pace: 9:40 min/mile!!!!!
Route: MapMyRun
Usually when I run, I aim to do a little better than the last run. Defining "a little better" then depends on what my next race is. In the past few months, I've been training to run a 12K (Bay2Breakers), so each run has been about an 11 minute/mile pace but I tried increasing the distances a little more and a little more.
Since B2B has gone and passed, I didn't have much of an aim or goal -- my next race was the next weekend and was the Warrior Dash, which was an obstacle course more than a run... and the next race after that was the 5K in October for the AIDS Walk (have you donated yet? seriously? Send $5 to my page and feel $100 better about yourself! Click here!)
So the past two runs, I decided to push myself a little. I had been running for a while now, content at my heart rate and pace. When I decided to push myself a little, I found a huge improvement. I've always said that one of my goals is to run a 5K in under 30 minutes. I'm pretty sure I can do that now.
And so that I won't get "bored" or just be content with my current norm of running about 3.5 miles, I signed up for an 8K on July 2. (For those that are K-challenged, that's 4.9 miles. Essentially, it's a 5 mile race). So I'll be going back to building up some more miles in the next few weeks.
For now, I'm declaring myself a Ten-Minute-Mile-Runner (no longer an Eleven-Minute-Mile-Runner)!

It's time to put your foot down in the fight against HIV/AIDS!
I signed up for the 25th annual AIDS Walk Washington today, as a runner in the timed 5K event! I am crazy and set a personal fund raising goal of $1000. I think I can raise that before Saturday, October 29th, 2011.
You can help and should! Check out the link to my personal fund raising page. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
The 25th annual AIDS Walk Washington is a 5K fundraising walk and timed run, benefiting and produced by Whitman-Walker.
This is a cause that is important to me, so I am doing what I can to raise money. I'll be leaving my donation progress chart up until the event happens, in case you decide you want to donate later. Or you want to donate again.
Thank you in advance.
