Week 21

Okay, so…my 30-mile run got bumped another weekend because of an illness in my husband’s family. But everything seems to be going much better now, in that regard, so I was able to complete my run this weekend.

I had intended to go for a 10/10/10 split, but my first five mile run on Saturday was so good that I didn’t want to mess it up by running the second one, lol. But I did get everything done over four days instead of three (a 10/5/10/5 split) and here are my stats for those runs:

Friday: (1-10)

Total time: 2:15:57
Average pace: 13:36
Best pace: 9:37
Weather: 39*, 57% humidity (feels like 34*)
Song o’ the run: “G6” (Far East Movement)

Saturday: (11-15)
Distance: 5 miles
Total time: 1:06:53
Average pace: 13:15
Best pace: 8:55

My last run (on Monday) was kinda poopy—I have a PT test next Tuesday and when my calf really began to hurt during the run I decided to walk it and save my muscles for that instead of pushing out the last mile or so. But I feel like I accomplished something…mainly running 30 miles.

I’ve managed to collect $550 so far! I’m hoping to be able to get the total up to an even $1K, but I only have about seven more weeks of training left!! So please donate, if you can!!
