Catch Up!
It's been a crazy week so I am a bit behind in my blogging. I have been battling the crud for almost two weeks and am finally feeling back to normal. I am glad it hit now rather than in December!
11/15 - Last Really Long Run
I felt like total garbage for this run with my bronchitis, but got up and did it anyway. It was a total mind over matter run mostly on the Austin course. I was with my peeps for the first 10 miles, but flipped around on Shoal Creek while they went ahead for a longer distance. I saw a cab on 45th and wanted to jump in, but I kept going. I actually picked up the pace a little bit over the last 10 miles and ended up with a nice average pace for feeling like crap. I need to store this one in my brain for the last 6 miles of Dallas!
Stats - 20.1 miles/3:02:47/9:05 pace
11/17 - Easy Run
We met at Runtex for an easy 7 miler. It was really cold so I was covered from head to toe. It was a nice run for the Dallas/Sac peeps that showed up. I also got another great massage from Sandee...she is awesome!
Stats - 7.05 miles/1:07:35/9:35 pace
11/18 - Kinda Long Tuesday Run in SW Austin
Today I met Wish for another longer run in SW Austin. I have stopped hitting the gym to do this workout and I really enjoy it. We run on the golf course for a bit and then run on a road that is off of 1826 and then do a tour of Circle C. The last few miles are at a bit faster pace than the first part so it is a nice finish.
Stats - 10.2 miles/1:28:54/8:43 pace

11/19 - Ladder Workout with the Gazelles
Today we did a ladder workout at AHS. We ran 1x2k, 3x1k, and 4x400 on the track. The first part was MGP, the second was half MGP, and the last part was 5k pace. The first part was really easy as we ran under MGP...nice to feel like that for Dallas! The other parts were pretty easy as well. I feel great!
Splits - 2k- 9:45/7:44 pace
1k - 4:51/7:41 pace
1k - 4:45/7:34 pace

400 - 1:40/6:37 pace
400 - 1:37/6:27 pace
400 - 1:43/6:53 pace - dogged it!
11/20 - Thursday Run in SW Austin
Today was the usual 8 miler in SW Austin. It was a perfect morning and a great run. I felt really good and strong going into my day off tomorrow. I have to thank Wish for picking up the pace on me during these runs. I alwasy run faster than I would on my own and I don't feel any more exertion than usual in the process.
