Been Way Too Long... (Long Post)
It has been way too long since I have posted a running blog, and I am very sad about that because I was doing so well. Then our training increased, got more intense, and took a lot of our time, so I just kept saying that I would do it tomorrow, and unfortunately tomorrow never came. I am going to try and summarize the last month of our training in this blog. Thankfully, I always posted little blurbs about our runs on dailymile.com when I logged our runs. In case you didn't already know, I love that site and the support is amazing as well. Well, here a quick run down of our last month of training before the marathon:
September 13---5 mile run---The run went pretty good! A little stiff after a rest day yesterday and tough to get going, but we finished well. 9:32:31 the last mile...not a new PR overall, but it might be a new PR for a 5 mile run. Some how we don't seem to run the 5 mile runs any faster. I think this is the fastest we have run 5 miles together! Pace for today's run was 10:31!
September 14---8 mile run---Took it pretty easy with today's run. It was a little warmer out than we thought it was...83 degrees, which is warmer than it had been for our runs. It was tough getting started today, so an 11:04 pace wasn't too bad. Not as fast as we would have liked, but we ran about 5 hours earlier than normal and did not have enough water in before starting our run. Overall, not a bad run!
September 18---18 mile run---Actually felt really good, considering we only got about 5-1/2 hours of sleep. Expected to run it a lot slower than we did and we took 3 one minute walk breaks, which really seemed to help in the later miles. Here are our splits:
September 23---5 mile run---I actually felt amazing considering I was tired and am starting to get a sore throat. Needed this run though, both mentally and physically. Feel pretty good now! Oh, and it was a hot and humid run this evening, as well as, buggy! Today's pace...10:13!
September 25---20 mile run---Way too hot and humid for the end of September!! Did a slower pace and more walking than I wanted too, but it was just too hot out today for a 20 mile run. I really hope it is cooler for the race. I thought it was fall?! :) I guess not too bad of a pace considering the time included bathroom breaks and walking, since I wanted to see where we would be at for race day. Today's pace...11:51! Oh, and a new PR---20 miles! The farthest either of us has ever run, and will run, until the marathon!
The next few weeks are our taper runs, so the miles get a little shorter, so we are ready for the marathon!
September 28---5 mile run---AMAZING! Our best run YET! So excited!
We ran every mile at a 10:35 or under pace! Here are our splits:
Mile 1: 10:35:43
Mile 2: 10:14:96
Mile 3: 10:27:27---this is the mile with the most hills and what kept us from being under 50 minutes :(
Mile 4: 9:52:59---another sub 10 mile :) Tried to make up some time!
Mile 5: 8:55:83---another sub 9 mile :)
Total 50:06:08 new PR!
Best of all...felt great at this pace! Great weather too...finally! :) Hope it is here to stay. Almost had our first sub 10 minute pace, but we are getting closer and making progress. Today's pace...10:01! :)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
October 1---8 mile run---Felt so great to finally get back out there after all this rain we have been having. Nice and cool run. Took it pretty easy today and didn't really push it until the last 2 miles (getting dark), since we have 9 miles tomorrow, and still ended up with a 10:38 pace! Crazy! And we felt slooooow!
Mile 1: 11:16:10
Mile 2: 11:01:63
Mile 3: 10:55:74
Mile 4: 11:01:78
Mile 5: 11:32:63
Mile 6: 11:25:89---and we walked for about 1-1/2 minutes to help prepare for race day.
Mile 7: 11:07:68
Mile 8: 11:03:57
Good run! :) Today's pace...11:10!
October 11---3 mile run---Another easy run. Took it easy on this 3 mile run, since the marathon is in 5 days! :) A little warmer than I would have liked, but still a good run. Very easy week...until Saturday! ;) Today's pace...10:20!
October 12---3 mile run---Feeling better and better everyday I run. Hope Saturday will feel just as good! This was our last 3 mile run before the BIG DAY! Have a 2 mile walk on Thursday and then the marathon Saturday! Wow! October 16th seemed so far away 3 to 4 months ago. Another easy 3 today and not too warm this evening! And a better pace than yesterday! :) Today's pace...9:48!
October 14---2 mile walk---Last 2 miles before the marathon on Saturday! It was hard to only walk, but made ourselves walk knowing that we have 26.2 miles to run on Saturday! :) Got the 2 mile walk in after all this rain finally Feeling great and super excited for Saturday. Picked up our race packets today! Exciting! Today's pace...16:49.

17 Miles and More PR's
Today’s run, as long as we finished it, was going to be a new PR itself, since we would have run our farthest distance yet…17 miles! Well, of course, we did it! It surprisingly went really well. The last mile was a little tough, but still finished it in a respectable 10:37:90, after already running 16 miles.
We did today’s 17 mile run at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis, which I believe is a tougher trail than the WB&A Trail we ran last week’s 16 miler on. Quiet Waters has more hills to run and we run them every time around. I think the hills get steeper every time too! ;) Of course, they really don’t, but it sure feels like it, especially the third time around.
This morning it actually felt cold before we started running. It was only in the 50’s when we started with low humidity as well. My hands were actually cold when we started running, but didn’t stay that way long. It warmed up over the 3 hours we were running, but only got to about 74 degrees by the end of the run, so it was still very nice out for running.
We had a few new PR’s throughout today’s run, which definitely made today’s run one of our best runs yet!
Here are our splits for today’s run:
Miles 1-5: 58:28:11
Miles 6-10: 55:38:13
Miles 11-16: 1:03:59
Mile 17: 10:37:90
Total 3:08:43---PR
The entire run was a new PR for us, as 17 miles is the furthest we have ever run at one time. The time we finished the 17 miles in was another PR for us. The first time we ran 16 miles, which was at Quiet Waters, we ran it in 3 hours and 12 minutes. Today we ran 17 miles, on the same trail, in just under 3 hours and 9 minutes! Another whole mile in 3 less minutes!
Another new PR was for miles: 1-16, which we ran in 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 5 seconds. Our previous PR for 16 miles was 3 hours and 1 minute, so we cut off about 3 minutes, and on what I believe is a hard course!
We only have 2 more weeks of long Saturday run, before we start tapering off for the Baltimore Marathon! We are only 33 days away from running our first marathon. Here is where the excitement starts to set in. In just over a month we will be marathon runners!

Scary Fast 8 Miles
Scary fast 8 miles! :) A few new PR's during this run! We are amazed at how fast we are getting every time we run. Today’s run was 8 miles. It was a pretty nice afternoon for a run, with some fall like temperatures…finally! We both felt really good starting today’s run and had our best finish yet!
Here are our splits for today’s run:
Mile 1: 11:09:09
Mile 2: 11:01:78
Mile 3: 10:21:72
Mile 4: 10:32:59
Mile 5: 10:41:55
Mile 6: 10:11:25
Mile 7: 9:46:82
Mile 8: 8:46:56-PR 1st sub 9 minute mile! :)
Total: 1:22:31 ---PR ---last time we were at 1:27.
We were happy to have the last 2 miles sub 10 minute miles, but ended up with one sub 10 and one sub 9! Amazing! It is scary how fast we are getting throughout our training!
We finished today’s 8 mile run in 1:22:31, which is a 10:18 pace, and our best 8 mile pace yet. It feels awesome to keep setting new PR’s each week.
Saturday will be another PR for us, as we will be running 17 miles, the furthest either of us has ever run!

5 Miles Instead of 8
We decided to run this morning instead of yesterday afternoon because it was warmer than we thought it was going to be. We got up at 5:40 am and got out to run by 6:20 am, once it got light out, since we don't have reflective running gear yet. We usually don't run when it is close to dark or dark, so didn’t think about buying any.
The run this morning was tough to get going, but after a couple of miles we both felt pretty good. Finished pretty strong, but overall time was a little slower than we normally run 5 miles. Still not a bad run considering we have never run this early in the morning and ran without food or hydrating all day. It was a little more humid than we would have liked, but definitely cooler than it would have been yesterday afternoon.
It was nice to be out running early though and to see the sun come up over the horizon. It was beautiful! We were supposed to run 8 miles this morning, but since we couldn't get out right at 6:00 am, we had to cut it to only 5 miles, so the hubby could get to work on time. We will run our 8 miles tomorrow instead.
Here are our splits for today's run:
Mile 1: 11:39:15
Mile 2: 11:09:15
Mile 3: 11:26:22
Mile 4: 10:40:52
Mile 5: 9:47:14
Not our best run time-wise, but we got the miles in and still finished the last mile in less than 10 minutes! We finished our 5 mile run in 54:42:18, which is a 10:56 pace.

More PR's and Another 5 Miles
Yet, another new PR set on our run today! We both felt pretty good during this run, after we got warmed up. We actually got to get out and do our run earlier than we normally do on a Monday, so that was nice. We started our run around 3:15 pm or so. The temperature and humidity wasn’t too bad. It was 78 degrees with 61 percent humidity, but the sun was horrible. It was way too hot in the sun, but we made the best of it. I would say it was probably 85 degrees in the sun, but definitely not the hottest weather we have run in this summer. I think we were just getting spoiled with the cooler weather we had been having. We were hoping it was here to stay and fall was on its way.
We probably could have run it faster, if we would have gone out first thing this morning, but we both wanted one day this weekend to sleep in! ;) Despite the fact that it was hot in the sun during our run, we still set a new 1 mile PR the last mile of our run. Crazy! It felt pretty good too, considering the hot sun was on us. We did have a nice breeze most of this last mile!
Here is a breakdown of the splits for today’s run:
Mile 1: 11:20:52
Mile 2: 10:58:57
Mile 3: 11:12:53
Mile 4: 10:33:66
Mile 5: 9:26:16
And we finished the last 2 miles in just over 20 minutes, which is also a new PR for us. Our previous was 21 minutes and we finished these last 2 miles in 20:41!
We finished today’s 5 mile run in 53:31:41, which is a 10:42 minute per mile pace. This is basically what we ran it in on Thursday, just a little bit quicker this time. Overall, good run and some new PR’s to boost!

We Keep Setting New PR's
Wow! We are continually setting new PR’s and it is kind of scary at how fast we are getting on our runs, especially our long runs! Today’s run was 16 miles, and after our 8 mile run on Tuesday, I had a good feeling that we could finish this week’s 16 miles in 3 hours. Well, we did it! 3 hours and 52 seconds to be exact!
This morning’s run felt pretty good. I felt really good at the end of the run and wanted to run more, but knew I needed to stop! :) The temperature was around 72 degrees at about 8:00 am when we started our run. Once again, forgot to check the humidity, but didn’t feel too bad. The sun was out full force by the middle to end of the run and made the last 4 to 5 miles a little hot, but we were able to push through it. We ended the 16 mile run with a nice long cool down. We walked 2.41 miles for our cool down to end up with a daily total of 18.41 miles.
We finished today’s 16 mile run in 3:00:52, which is an 11:18 minute per mile pace. Amazing! Just as a comparison…we finished last week’s 16 miles at an 11:59 minute per mile pace and finished in 3:12, so we cut a lot of time off of this week’s run.
Great run and a great way to end the week!

A Nice 5 Mile Run
I know, today isn’t Thursday. We decided to push yesterday’s run to this morning because it was just so hot and humid yesterday afternoon, and we didn’t want to wait until 6:00 pm or so to start our run. We are so glad that we switched our run days around. Although maybe tomorrow morning we won’t, since we have 16 miles to run again this Saturday.
It was another good run, despite the fact that I had a slight stitch in my side most of the run…again! Not sure why I am getting these stitches, but I am really hydrating today, in the hopes that it won’t be there tomorrow for our long run.
This morning’s run felt good. The temperature was around 75 degrees at 9:30 am. I am not sure about the humidity, since I forgot to check before I left this morning. I would say it was around 64% or so. The best part was that it was very overcast for the entire run. This definitely makes it much cooler than running in the hot sun for 5 miles.
Today’s 5 mile run was done on base around the parade field, since Rob had to go into work this morning. I just met him over there and we got our run in! We took it easy on today’s run because our long run awaits us tomorrow morning; however, we still ended up running under an 11 minute per mile pace. We thought we were running a little slower than that even. Guess not!
We finished today’s 5 mile run in 54:06:48, which is a 10:49 minute per mile pace. Overall, a pretty good run in some weather that is starting to feel like September. We know this “cool” weather is not going to last very long, so we are enjoying while it is here!

New Trail, New PR
Today we decided to find another trail to run because it was too hot to run around the neighborhood where most of the route is in the sun. We found a spot pretty close to our house where part of the WB&A (Washington, Baltimore, & Annapolis) Trail starts, so we decided to give it a try. We loved the trail. A good portion of the trail was shaded, which made running in 93 degree heat with 50 percent humidity a little more bearable.
Once again, we started our run later than we like to, around 6:15 pm, but had to due to the hot weather we are still having. We hope September brings cooler temperatures, and soon!
It was a great run, despite the fact that I had a slight stitch in my side most of the run. It was there at the beginning of the run, went away for awhile, and then came back towards the end of the run. I am sure it was because I didn’t have as much water as I should have had before our run, so it was my fault. I will make sure to hydrate better before Thursday’s run!
Here is a breakdown of the splits for today’s run:
Miles 1-4: 44:58:78
Miles 5-8: 42:05:03
The more we run the faster we seem to be getting. We set another new PR on today’s run. We finished our 8 mile run in 1:27:03, which is a 10:52 minute per mile pace, and we started the run with a 13 minute mile the first mile. Once we got about a mile and a half into the run, we both felt pretty good and picked up the pace, and finished strong! If we can keep this same pace for our 16 mile run this weekend, we will finish in less than 3 hours! Last weekend we did our 16 mile run in 3 hours and 12 minutes so we will see how we do this weekend.

All By Myself
Today I ended up running by myself because Rob was feeling under the weather. It was very weird at first to be running by myself because I was so used to having someone else running beside me. It took about the first half mile to get used to being by myself, but once I got into a rhythm I just took off, and had the best 5 mile run I have ever had.
I started my run a lot later than I like to, around 6:45 pm, but so glad that I ended up going out for my run. I felt amazing after my run! At run time it was between 75 and 80 degrees and the humidity was around 60 percent. It was actually a good time to run because the sun was going down, so most of the sun was shaded, which makes the run a little bit cooler.
It was a great run!
Here is a breakdown of the splits:
Miles 1-4: 41:07:00
Mile 5: 9:33:58
I set another new PR the last mile is the fast mile I have ever run by myself and it was the fastest 5 miles I have ever run.
I finished my 5 mile run in 50:40:58, which is a 10:08 minute per mile pace. Crazy! I felt great after the run. I ran with new shoes, which I am sure had something to do with how good I felt as well. I felt like I was flying! :) The new shoes felt amazing. I didn’t realize how worn my other shoes were getting until I ran in the new shoes.
Great run!

Three Hours of Running
W-O-W…wow! That is only one way to explain how today’s run went and felt! When we started our 26.2 mile journey 7 weeks ago, we really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. We didn’t really know how far 26.2 miles were. Sure we have all driven 26.2 miles, and probably many times throughout our lives, but driving 26.2 miles and running 26.2 miles are two VERY different things, and we are starting to see that as our weekly miles continue to increase. This week we ran a total of 31 miles and over half of those miles today! Today we ran 16…yes, 16…miles!
We love doing our long runs first thing in the morning because it is so much cooler, plus they take a while to do. This morning was another great Saturday morning for a long run. We started about 15 minutes (around 8:15 am) later than we had been the previous weeks, but the temperature was still pretty low, in the low 60’s. The humidity, however, was up in the mid-to-high 70’s, so it felt a little warmer and sticky. Despite the humidity it was still a lot cooler than it has been for our runs.
Even though it was a 16 mile run it was a great run with another strong finish. We finished the last 2 miles in 22 minutes! Here is a breakdown of the splits:
Miles 1-5: 1:02:55
Miles 6-10: 1:01: 01
Miles 11-16: 1:08:01
Not only was it a great run, but it is a new PR (personal record) for the both of us. We both felt much better during today’s run compared to last week’s long 14 mile run. It is amazing what one week can do for your training. I am still having a hard time believing that we just ran 16 miles. Although it might be hard to believe that we ran 16 miles; we know and can feel that we did it! We are one step closer to that 26.2 mile goal we have set for ourselves!
Now back to my running versus driving analogy. Since I was having a hard time believing and seeing how far we had just run, I decided to measure the distance from where we park at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis to our driveway on the way home. I was shocked when we pulled into the driveway and my odometer read 16.2 miles! Wow! We pretty much ran the distance to the park we drive to to do our long runs! Crazy! While it might seem crazy, it really puts just how far we ran into perspective. We have driven to Quiet Waters Park numerous times, but now we can truly appreciate that distance and know that we have run that far, and in time, farther than that!
We are very proud of where we have come with our running. We can’t wait to see what the next week brings. We are reaching new levels of health and fitness we never knew was possible. I guess over 3 hours of running will do that for you!
We finished our run in 3 hours, 11 minutes, and 58 seconds which is just under a 12 minute a mile pace! Right where we want to be, as we have been shooting for a 12 minute mile pace for the marathon.

An Easy 4
Today was a pretty good day for a run. Although it was still a little bit warmer than I would like it to be. We started our 4 mile run at 4:45 pm. At run time it was about 80 degrees with the humidity in the 70’s. This made the run pretty hot, but still doable because we have run in weather hotter than this.
We finished our 4 mile run in 43:29:04, which is a 10:52 minute per mile pace. Once again a pretty good run pace, and right about where we have been running our 4 mile routes. Today we ran a different route than we had been for our 4 miles and started the route a little slower than we wanted to because I had not been feeling well. After we got running, I actually felt better and we were able to pick up the pace a little bit by the last mile, which made our last mile our fastest. We ran our last mile at a 10:41 pace.
Overall, not a bad pace, considering I wasn’t feeling my best, but still wanted to go run. We also wanted to take this run kind of easy because we have the biggest run of our short running career on Saturday…16 miles!

Lots of Reading
I have been doing a lot of reading over the last few weeks, and of course, it is running related. I am definitely addicted to running and cannot ever see myself not running. I already told you about one book that I have read, Grete Waitz’s book “Run Your First Marathon: Everything You Need to Know to Reach the Finish Line.” After I read that book, I went and bought 3 more running books to read. So far, I have finished one of them and I am currently reading the other two.
The first book is a “Women’s Complete Guide to Running” by Jeff and Barbara Galloway.
You can get the book here: http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Complete-Guide-Running-Galloway/dp/1841262056/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282852531&sr=8-1
I really enjoyed this book, not only for the tips and information, but also for the inspirational stories throughout the book. Truly amazing!
The second book I got was “How Running Changed My Life: True Stories of the Power of Running” edited by Garth Battista.
You can get this book here: http://www.amazon.com/How-Running-Changed-My-Life/dp/189136930X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282852796&sr=1-1
I am 100 pages into this book and enjoying every minute I spend reading it. The stories are definitely inspiring and illustrate how running can truly change your life, if you give it the chance to do so!
The third book I bought was “Nancy Clark’s Food Guide for Marathoners” by Nancy Clark, MS, RD.
You can get her book here: http://www.amazon.com/Nancy-Clark-Food-Guide-Marathoners/dp/1841262064/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1282852907&sr=1-1
I am only about 30 pages into this book, but am finding it to be very helpful. I really need to get reading this book some more, but I am sure that I need to be eating more than I have been. I am continuing to burn more and more calories every day and every week. This book is helping me to know which foods and how much of these foods to consume every day.
I want to learn as much as I can about running. It is definitely changing my life! It can change yours too!

A Cool 7 Miles
Today was another great day for a run. The temperature and humidity were wonderful, especially for a late August day. We started our 7 mile run at 4:45 pm. At run time it was 74 degrees with 69% humidity. This combination made our 7 mile run feel awesome! It was partly cloudy and made some of the run even better.
We finished our 7 mile run in 1:18:56, which is an 11:16 minute per mile pace. We probably could have run it a little faster, and had a couple of quicker splits, but we also didn’t want to run too hard in the beginning knowing that we had 7 miles to run today. Despite a couple of really slow splits, compared to what we had been running, we ended up with a pretty good pace.
Here are our splits for this run:
Mile 1: 11:19:76
Mile 2: 11:05:56
Mile 3: 11:07:25
Mile 4: 11:41:03
Mile 5: 11:59:64
Mile 6: 11:02:33
Mile 7: 10:41:19
Once again our last 2 miles were our fastest, so we finished pretty strong, but could have probably been stronger. I had a small stitch for the last mile, but I was able to run through it. I wish I would have been able to finish a little stronger, but there is always tomorrow.
Still a great run! The runs are getting easier and easier! :)

Amazing Run
Today was a great day for a run. The temperature was finally bearable and so was the humidity. We started our 4 mile run at 4:50 pm. At run time it was 80 degrees with 77% humidity, which felt great, plus it was partly cloudy so we didn’t have to run in the hot sun the whole time either.
We finished our 4 mile run in 43:06, which is a 10:46 minute per mile pace. Still about the same pace we have been running our 4 miles. We are always faster the last mile, but pretty consistent the first 3 miles.
Here are our splits for this run:
Mile 1: 11:05:94
Mile 2: 10:47:92
Mile 3: 11:01:02
Mile 4: 10:11:71
Today’s run felt amazing. It is amazing how much easier a 4 mile run is after running 14 the weekend before. :) Another great run! We are looking forward to Wednesday’s 7 mile run, as long as the weather cooperates.

A New Personal Record
Wow! Today we set a new PR (personal record) and accomplished something we NEVER thought we would be able to do. While it was definitely not easy, it was something we knew we COULD do, and something we did TOGETHER. All of which are very important to the both of us. So what did we do? We ran 14 miles! Yes, I just wrote 14, and no, that is not a typo! That is over a half-marathon, which is 13.1 miles. As I am writing this, it is still hard to believe that we actually ran 14 miles today, except for the fact that we are exhausted! :) But, it is a welcome exhausted and a great feeling.
We started our 14 mile run at 8:00 am down at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. We really like doing our long runs there because the trail is mostly shaded, which makes the run a little cooler. It felt really good temperature wise in the beginning, but the humidity was way up. At the beginning of our run it was 63 degrees with 100% humidity, and the temperature had risen to around 80 degrees when we were on our way home. We can’t wait for this humidity to drop again…and the temperature too!
We finished our 14 mile run in 2:50.53, which is a 12:12 minute per mile pace. It was not as well as we were hoping for, but we finished the whole 14 miles. That is really good considering we really slowed down the last 4 miles, or at least felt like we did. I was fighting off a sore right knee and thigh the last 3 miles, and really had to slow the pace down. If it wasn't for the knee and thigh pain, I would have been fine, as I felt great otherwise. I was determined to finish the 14 miles!
I was a little disappointed with our overall time, until I got home and looked back at some of our other previous long runs and compared the times. Upon looking back at the last few weeks, I noticed that we ran our 10 mile long run in 2:01.50, which is a 12:11 minute per mile pace, and we ran 14 miles today at a 12:12 pace. So, I guess we did better than we thought after all.
Here is a breakdown of our times:
Miles 1-5: 59.46.12
Miles 6-10: 1:00.53
Miles 11-14: 50.15.96
Overall, pretty good run and a new PR!

6 More Miles
Today we ran the 6 miles we were supposed to run yesterday, but didn’t due to the time we got to start our run yesterday. Today’s run went really well. We both felt amazing throughout the run, and we were able to finish it just a little bit faster than we did last week. For today’s run I kept track of our splits again. Here are the splits:
Mile 1: 11:29.75
Mile 2: 11:14.08
Mile 3: 10:53.73
Mile 4: 10:53.88
Mile 5: 11:31.26
Mile 6: 10:07.59
Once again we had a pretty strong finish and two really consistent miles (miles 3 and 4) for this run. We are trying to be more consistent runners throughout our runs.
Today’s run was 6 miles and we wish we would have been able to run them yesterday when it was cooler, but we had to be flexible with our training schedule. Being flexible during your training is very important! We started today’s run around 5:30 pm, still a little later than we would have liked, but it was too hot to get out there sooner. It was definitely warmer than yesterday. By the time we started our run, the sun was starting to go down, and was pretty much behind the trees after the first 2 miles of our run. This made the 6 miles much easier to run. It was around 85 degrees with the humidity around 80% when we left for our run.
We finished our 6 mile run in 66:10, which is an 11:01 pace per mile. It was our fastest 6 miles by 5 seconds a mile.
Another great run!

Running In The Rain
We finally got to run in the rain! It was nice and refreshing, since it was a light rain. It actually felt really good to run in cooler weather. We took it pretty easy today and only ran 4 miles instead of the scheduled 6 due to time, so we will run our 6 miles tomorrow. We started out at a slower pace than usual because this was the first time we had run in the rain, and really didn’t know what to expect. We picked up the pace after the first mile and a half, and ended up running just under a 9 minute mile the last mile! The fastest mile we have ever run!
Today’s run ended up only being 4 miles, since we didn’t get to start our run until around 6:00 pm. It was about 75 degrees with 100% humidity for our run, but the light rain made it feel even better.
We finished our 4 mile run in 43:56, which is a 10:58 pace per mile. The pace is about what we had been running our 4 miles in, and set a new PR (personal record) for ourselves with a sub 9 minute mile. It was amazing!
Great run in the rain!
