My kids and I spent Saturday at home so I had to run on the treadmill during naptime. I did 5.5 miles at 8:49avg and felt really good afterwards. It was a very challenging weekend with the kids and that run really helped put me in a better mood.
Yesterday my MIL watched my kids for my long run. Outside was cloudy but not cold and was only a little muddy after raining/snowing the night before. I zigzaged my way through 4 miles before I decided to run on the highway due to mud, mangaging 9 miles at 9:09avg pace. That is a really good time for me. The run felt really good and I am getting excited for my 10k. My times have improved and I am loving all the speedwork.
Great job on the 9 miles! I NEED to run on the weekends or the kids will drive me insane....
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the speed work is paying of.. Awesome long run pace!
ReplyDeleteGood runs! Yeah, I need "get me away from my kid" time also....
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you're enjoying the speed work. Sometimes I find it intimidating.
