Stake 5k Fun Run

First 5k in long time. Haven't been feeling well all week and I almost didn't even go but I went to get my free shirt. It was freezing cold, too. All things considered, time wasn't all that bad.

3.1 miles ~ 24 min (7:44 min/mile)

3/20 ~ 2.7 miles

The girls came along with me this run and I caught up with them and stopped at the 2.7 mile mark.

2.7 miles ~ 21:03 (7:47 min/mile)

3/18 ~ 3 miles

Ran 3 miles, non-stop with a descent time of 23:43.

3 miles ~ 7:55/mile

10/16 2.84 miles

It's been awhile since I last ran. I got really busy and then a little bit sick and next thing I knew nearly two weeks had passed. This was initially supposed to be a 3 mile run but I had to stop half way and that shortened the back half of my run. The first 1/5 miles was under 8min/mile which I was happy about.

2.84 miles ~ 22:41 min (7:59 min/mile)

4 miles - 31:14

My goal was to be under 32 minutes for the four miles. This was definitely the hardest run I've done to date this season. Very painful, especially the last half-mile and recovery took a lot longer than usual as well. Times continue to progress, though.

4 miles ~ 31:14 (7:48/mile)

3/1 - 3 miles

Ran a good, solid three miles. It definitely wasn't a hard run but it wasn't slow either. Just a good pace for right now.

3 mile ~ 23:59 (7:59/mile)

2/26 - 4 miles

I ran an slow four miles today and it really hurt. Not sure why but it took a long time so I know I was going slow.

4 miles ~ 8:50/mile

3.5 miles

Very hard 3.5 miles. I intended this to be a 4 mile run but I started out a little too fast and didn't anticipate how hard it would be to run back into the wind. I was really out of gas at the 3-mile mark but pushed through until 3.5 miles. Probably the most exhausted I've been this season. Times are getting better...

3.5 miles ~ 27:28 (7:51/mile)

5.02 miles with break

Ran the 5.02 mile run and it was supposed to be easy but it was painful enough that I felt I needed a stretch break in the middle of it.

2.51 miles out ~ 20:48 (8:17/mile)
2.51 miles in ~ 21:01 (8:22/mile)

4 good miles

Ran four miles today. Wasn't sure how it was going to go but it felt pretty good for the first mile so I ran it pretty quick. Just slightly over 8min/mile and then ran hard the last half mile for my first sub-8 min/mile long run of the season. Felt good.

4 miles ~ 31:56 7:59/mile

2 Hard Miles - 1 Mile Cool Down

Ran two hard miles and put up a pretty good time:

2 miles ~ 7:40/mile

The mile cool-down was in a pouring rain which felt good because it was cool.

5 miles ~ 41:51

I took a small break halfway through this one and realized my last five miler was indeed a bit short. At least I now know the markers. The back half of my run was the true half-way point and therefore a little longer than the front half but I still managed to run it 1s faster.

2.5 miles out ~ 20:55
2.51 miles in ~ 20:54 (8:19/mile)

2 Miles on the Track, 16:43

Ran at the track for the first time this season with the little family. Ella actually did quite a bit of running herself. I just did 2 miles.

2 miles ~ 8:21/mile

5 miles ~ 42:22

Not sure if this is completely accurate but close enough. The sign says it's 5 miles and the times were close enough, just maybe a little on the fast side. It was hard but not super hard and still my times were sub-8:30.

5 miles - 8:28/mile

2/5 ~ 3 miles

Ran a hard 3 miles. Though I didn't completeley exhaust myself at the finish of my run like I did so much last season, it was probably the hardest run yet. I really wanted to take a break at the half-way mark but I'm glad I persevered. The time was very good as well, I'm getting closer to the 7 minute mile mark.

3 miles ~ 24:49, 8:16/mile

2 Runs

2/2 approximately 2.8 miles - no time

This one I just ran with the girls and stopped running when I caught up with them. It was supposed to be an easy run but it felt pretty fast and good. I'd say under 8:30/mile.

2/3 ~ 3.7 miles - 32:17, 8:43/mile

Another run with the fam but this time I had my watch and caught up to them at an convenient mile marker so I know the distance. Fairly easy run since it was the farthest I've run this season.

1/31 ~ 3 miles

I thought...

It would be an easy run.
It would be slower than Wednesday.
It would be painful because of basketball the night before.

It was..

An easy run.
Painful because of basketball.

It was not...

Slower than Wednesday!

3 miles - 8:34/mile

1/29 ~ 3 miles

First 3-mile run this season. Didn't feel bad at all, in fact I started off as an easy run and when I saw that my time was decent I sort of turned it on. But still not completely all-out. It will be good to be training in the 7min/mile range.

3 miles ~ 8:36/mile

2.68 miles 22:40

A good drop of time, especially considering that it is coming off my first consecutive-day run. Yesterday was harder than it should have been considering the time I posted. Today was much better and I still didn't go all out.

2.68 mi - 8:27/mile

1/26 - 2.68mi

Another 2.68-mile run; this time it took 24:06. A bit off of my time from the last run but the good news is that it felt pretty easy. My goal this week is to be able to bump up the distance in my training to 3 miles. Soon I'll also need to start working on speed as well.

2.68 miles - 9:00/mile

1/23 Run

I really don't think it was meant for 200lbs to run 2.68mi - it really just doesn't feel right; not to mention the pain. My times have been coming down, hopefully the weight will be soon to follow. I need to be in the 170-180lb range to be back where I was a couple years ago.

2.68mi - 23min 31s
pace - 8:46/mi

Two-Mile Run

Two miles 18:07 - 9:04/mi

Not bad considering I was still really sore from church-ball on Friday night. It really felt like both my knees were hitting bone on bone. I've never really had that before. Hopefully it goes away soon.

1/3 and 1/6 Runs

1/3 ran 1.66mi in 13:50 - 8:30min/mi

1/5 ran 2.68 without watch and without break.
