Today's number: 5k
Nothing glamorous today. I ran a 5k distance, pace was a little slower than last time I did it. I learned I'm slower earlier in the day (for some reason?) and I can run in the rain if necessary.
today's number: 0:01
2-mile speed run today, shooting to break 9 minutes for my mile pace. i hit 9:01. missed it by *that* much.
today's number: 0:01 v. 2.0
i had the first round of covid vaccine today, and was feeling a little run down from it, so instead of my normal tuesday long run i decided to do my weekly speed run. just like sunday, i did 2 miles, shooting for a 9:00 pace, and again missed it by 1 second. the frustrating thing is that for a short 2 mile run, i would only have to be TWO LITERAL SECONDS faster to hit my mark.
so my running schedule has been messed up for the last few weeks, as i started having some mild knee problems. but last saturday (3/27) i ran a competitive 5k for the first time in a long time, and this past sunday i hit double-digit miles for the first time ever.
6.16 miles in an hour tonight. i'm now consistently getting through 6 miles at better than a 10 minute mile pace.
