This week of running has been really good for me. I'm especially pleased with today's 5 miler! I completed miles two and three in under a 10 minute pace. Mile four was a 10:17! What a great run for me!
I think the Wednesday Speed Sessions are paying off. This past Wednesday I completed 6 quarter mile repeats in 2:11 or less. Here's the rundown:
First Repeat - 2:11:22
Second Repeat - 2:07:55
Third Repeat - 2:10:11
Fourth Repeat - 2:10:11
Fifth Repeat - 2:10:07
Sixth Repeat - 2:01:45
Of course, between each repeat, I slowed to a comfortable pace before the next. I have a good feeling about the Fuzz Run this year. It's a local 5k race. If my training keeps progressing, I should be able to come close to 27 minutes. That's something I couldn't even think of 5 years ago! As a matter of fact 5 years ago, I didn't think it would be possible for me to break 30 minutes in a 5k. Now I break 30 minutes in 5k races most of the time. This year I completed the Steeple Chase in 28:28. Right now I feel really optimistic about coming close to my Fuzz Run Goal.
I'm also feeling positive about the Macon Labor Day Road Race 10K. I plan to break 60 minutes this year, if at all possible. My current runs tell me that this will be possible, given good conditions.
Atlanta Marathon! October 30, 2011! Here I come!
Running has taught me that being consistent and faithful in all things will enable one to achieve his or her goals.
