Well I'm sitting here watching the World Series Game 4 from Detroit, hence the title of this entry. No this has no connection with the road in Detroit or the Eminem movie but what I ran this morning. This week I did 5k training runs on Tuesday and Thursday. Completed both in the 39/40 minute range. It seems I am stuck at that pace no matter my run walk pattern. Going to try and get faster this week and hope to the training runs in the 36/37 minute range.
Two weeks ago I was at Disney and ran 6.5 miles, well my training plan has me adding 1.5 miles to my long run every two weeks. That means I needed to run 8 miles this morning. Got up around 5:30 and got ready to go. Set up my interval timer to 2 minutes run then 1 minute walk. Got out the door a little past 6 and started my run. I tried starting out at an easy pace, the first 2 miles were the hardest. The road was dark that I was running on but lucky for me I had no problems. Made it to the 4 mile mark on a run segment and waited until the next walk portion to start heading back. On the way back I noticed my average pace was coming down a bit; Made it to 8 mile mark in 1:44:21 with an average pace of 13'03". I'm happy woth the run and fell I could go longer. Mile 7 was actually my quickest mile
Next Sunday I have a 5k race to run and my goal is to be under 35, not sure if I will make it or not but 'm going to try.
Eleven weeks to go until the Disney Half Maathon.
