I actually got out this morning and ran!!! It felt great and the weather was awesome. I actually overdressed. I wanted to run a 3 mile warm up and then do a 2000M and see how my body would perform. I didn't think that I could keep it under a 6:00 min pace because my lack of training since Oct. I started on Canal Road and ran back towards my house. This is a fairly flat road, so I feel like this was pretty accurate. I started the first .25 @ 5:51 and I was actually trying to slow down but I was feeling good. I hit the mile at 5:47 and then I started with some stomach issues but I was able to push through and finished in 7:12:?? 5:45 ave pace. I was really surprised that I was able to keep it under 6:00 pace. I have not done any speed work since Sept and I have not ran more that 12 times since Oct 2nd. I did run a Marathon in Nov, but I thought that I was a lot more out of shape. I really need to get back, I want to run well in May at Ogden. |
