A couple thoughts on running really quick... Last Monday, I ran my farthest run yet. 5.77 miles. And it wasn't that hard. I had just been scared to go over 4 miles for whatever reason. And I even finished faster than I started. Check out my chart from this run. At the two mile mark, I was running pretty slow, but from there on out, I sped up. Then ended faster than I started. Not to shabby.
This run accomplished a couple things.
1: it put me less than a mile from completing my March goal of 29 miles. So, if you'll check the chart on the right, you'll see that I finished the 29 miles with time to spare. (I guess it should be noted that I had a two mile run not register for some reason. So this long run would have put me over had that 2 mile run been recorded)
2: It put me over 200 miles total since Sept. It took me 36 runs to get my first 100 miles. And my second 100 came in 34 runs. It took a little longer to reach that second 100 miles, but I pretty much took December off so it all works out.
So now I just need to come up with a goal for April. I'm leaning towards something like "5 runs under 9.25 per mile" or something like that. March was about distance, maybe I'll make April about picking up my speed a little bit. Thoughts are welcome.
When I'm our running, I always think of funny cleaver things to say in my blog, but then I never get around to posting anything. So I know I'm forgetting something. Oh well.
I'll leave you with a photo I took on Saturday in Raceland. Paddle Bayou Laforuche took place this weekend. A bunch of people spend four days floating down Bayou Lafourche. I hung out at a Bed and Breakfast that was having a party for the paddlers. And I've decided that I'm doing this next year. Looks like fun.
That's all for now... And who do I go for this weekend? North Carolina because I have a UNC jersey and I've been to their campus and I like Roy Williams or KU because I have them in my brackets and KSU beat them and it'd be awesome to say "We beat the National Champion" Hummmmmm...
