Days 57-61


I've missed a few days of updating but I haven't missed any of my scheduled runs. Even though I may do them on a different day than the schedule indicates. Here is my latest summary: Saturday was cloudy but not cold so it was a good day for a run. The goal was 7 and I did a little more than that because I wanted to do the same run that I did last weekend. One steep but short climb followed by a long descent followed by a longer but less steep climb and a fun, fast descent followed by a mostly flat but slightly descending finish. I felt sluggish and heavy but my average pace was almost the exact same as last weekend. The hills in the headlands are starting to lose their bright green brilliance and soon enough, they will be brown (though still beautiful). The trail that you see in the photo is the long descent (it's a fire road called Bobcat). My stats were: 7.4 miles in 1:27 at an average of 11:48 pace. I enjoyed Easter by having a homemade benigets for breakfast (South Beach Dr would be horrified) and then Paul & I went to friends house for lunch/easter egg hunting. Monday and Tuesday were running days with the pup. On Monday we had a 3 mile goal and Tuesday we had a 5 mile goal. Stats are: 3.16 miles in 50:59 at an average of 16:07. The next day was 5.22 miles in 1:13 at an average of 14:05 The 5 mile day was the longest Uli (the pup) has gone in quite some time and he did great. I'm proud of the boy!
