5k a day -- Day 22

I *think* I ran my fast mile in quite a while today, but I can't tell, because MapMyRun doesn't seem to keep track of that as an option, which is a bummer.  I'd love an option that tracks how my mile and 5k times change over time.

It was hot, and we're out of sunscreen, but I went out anyhow.  My first mile was 11:02, which included a 42 second phone call with Paul, during which I walked (yes, I answered . . . we were waiting on important news) and I ran the rest of it best I could.

So even though it says 11:01, I think it was more like a 10:45 pace!  Yay me!

The rest of the workout I did intervals for -- God, running in this heat sucks.

The 5k:

5k in 42:09

13:37 min/mile average pace

Splits: 11:01/17:22/11:58/18:07

The Workout:

82 squats

90 seconds plank

31 modified push ups

5k a day -- Day 6

Oops, I did my Day 7 straight-out 5k a day early.  For some reason I had it in my head I had decided to do it on Day 6.  Oh well.

The Run:

5k in 36:30

11:46 min/mile average pace

Splits:  11:59/11:52/11:36/10:27

I have to say I'm pretty happy with this run.  Not only was I consistent, but my splits improved, and I was significantly faster than Day 1.  I think this may be a personal best for me, but I'm not 100% sure.  For me this pace had my heart rate up pretty well the whole way.

The workout:

50 squats

50 seconds plank

15 modified push ups

Oh, and hey!  Shout out to whoever subscribed to this on their RSS feed.  It made me feel warm and fuzzy today.
