running update (May)

For the record, I make these running updates solely to hold myself accountable. I don't expect that anyone else would ever been remotely interested in reading these posts! 

Tues 5/3 - I can't even look at how far I'm off from my training plan or from my goal of hitting 365 miles this year. Ugh. But at least this was a good run!
Time: 45:57 min
Distance: 3.81 mi
Avg Pace: 12:03 min/mi
Cumulative distance: 93.87 mi

Thurs 5/5 - I couldn't stand to get back on the treadmill again, so I just did a very short run out in the rain.
Time:  23:45 min
Distance: 2.17  mi
Avg Pace:  10:56 (!!!) min/mi
Cumulative distance:  96.04  mi

Sat 5/7 - I'm starting to move past my initial thought everyone weekend of "See, Amanda, I'm still running, even if I am slow!" and starting to recognize some of the benefits of running alone. I get some time to myself, I can push myself to my own limits, and I can learn to really listen to my own body. Oh, and I get to crank up my music too! :)
Time:  1:20:15 min
Distance: 6.93  mi
Avg Pace:  11:34 (!) min/mi
Cumulative distance:  102.97  mi

Thur 5/12 - I've been having weird pain, but I nevertheless attempted this run. I was quickly thwarted, however, and just turned back home.
Time:  11:04 min
Distance: 0.79  mi
Avg Pace:  13:57 min/mi
Cumulative distance:  103.76  mi

Sun 5/15 - I pushed my long run back to today since the weather was so gross yesterday. Technically I didn't run the whole time - I ran ~3.75 mi to Lake of the Isles, walked around the lake with my friend Dotty, then ran back home again. Thus the averages (below) are a bit off -  my splits were as follows: mile 1 in 10:51, 2 in 11:22, 3 in 11.07, split 4 (.75mi) at 11:01 pace, mile 5 in 19:11, 6 in 18:08, split 7 (.63mi) at 18:54 pace, mile 8 in 11:11, 9 in 12:13, 10 in 12:20 and split 11 (.87 mi) at 10:56 pace. (I love my Garmin!)

Time:  2:16:13
Distance: 10.26  mi
Avg Pace:  13:16 min/mi
Cumulative distance:  114.02  mi

Tues 5/17 - I'm uploading this late, so I don't remember much about this run.
Time:  29:18 min
Distance: 2.87  mi
Avg Pace:  11:51 min/mi
Cumulative distance:  116.89  mi

Sat 5/21 - A run in Appleton! A fun change of scenery, but it was incredibly humid!

Time:  54:24 min
Distance: 4.70  mi
Avg Pace:  11:34 min/mi
Cumulative distance:  121.59  mi

Sun 5/29 - I did a lot of biking, walking, and relaxing last week, so this was my first run in awhile. I forced myself to get out there since the Minneapolis Half Marathon is next weekend!!! Eek! Unfortunately, this run stunk. My Garmin died, my iPod case gave me a rash, my shorts rode up and my legs got some chafing, and I had horrible stomach pains toward the end. Ugh.
Time:  1:33:44 (before the Garmin died - more like 2 hours in the end?)
Distance: 7.89 mi (BTGD - more like 10 mi in the end?)
Avg pace: 11:53 min/mi
Cumulative Distance: 131.59
