Week 2 Wrap Up!

Week 2, Run 3
Distance: 3 miles
Speed: 6.1
Time:29:32
Pain: Abs a little sore, but feeling pretty good otherwise
Notes: Run went as well as it could! felt great the entire time, probably could have gone longer. I'm starting to get used to pacing myself. The sports I have done in the past have (by which I mean sport, and by sport i mean crew) have been about sprinting, so It has been an adjustment for me mentally. I am used to trying to finish the distance as quickly as possible, and emptying every bit of my energy doing so. That isn't what running long distance is about. I'm learning to find a pace that works and stick to it so I can make my energy last. In other news, I AM STARVING.. and eating everything in sight... not great news for my weight loss goals...

BONUS RUN
Distance: 4.1 miles (farthest I have ever run!)
Speed: 6.1
Time: 40:32
Pain: nothing out of the ordinary, just the usual soreness.
Notes: Woke up this morning, and after my massive pig out last night, I just felt like going for a run. This in it self is weird, I have never just wanted to exercise cause I felt like it before. I ended up running the three miles I planned to at 6.1 and feeling pretty good, so I kept on going to 4.1 miles. I honestly felt like I could have gone longer, even up to 5 miles, but I had to get home and shower before an appointment. I may try to hit 5 miles for my long run next friday, depending on how I feel. Overall, I am pretty excited that I was able to do that, and do it comfortably!
