this weekend I didn't have a group run to go to & Jamie had to work Saturday morning at 9am so I decided to take Jacob to hockey and help coach. After hockey I picked Nathan up at the neighbors and the boys chilled out the rest of the day therefore not getting a run in. Since I didn't run Saturday I felt guilty so I got out of bed and put in 10 miles. I kind of made up my route as I went this morning and even ended up getting a few miles on a gravel frontage road. I always dread long runs of greater than 6 miles by myself but today the time and miles flew by at a 7:21/mi average. Overall I think I had a successful run and ran faster then I thought I would solo. Right now 4 weeks into my training program I am running average mile paces faster then lasted 4 weeks in and I have 1 mile more ran in those weeks. It looks like I should have a good training session if I can stay healthy. It would be awesome if at the end I could be running my daily miles at 7:00 per mile like back in the college days.
