16M Solo

 

Summary

Name 16M from Y
Location Houston, TX
Start Time 10/12/2013 6:04 AM (UTC-05:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 15.98 mi Time 02:20:09.0
Time Moving 02:20:09.0 Stopped 00:00:16.0
Average pace 08:46 min/mi Max. pace 07:41 min/mi
Weather Cloudy; 77.4 °F
Notes Ran solo from the Y this morning. Really happy to get this one in. Not happy about how I drug myself to the finish over the last 5 miles. Mental toughness may have been the only thing built on this one.

Took a new route that took me north of Spring Cypress Road up to Northpointe. Seemed much better than running back and forth on Eldridge in traffic.

Going to the chiropractor who also specializes in ART (active release therapy). I need to get the issue with my back resolved.

4 x 1k

 

Summary

Name 4 x 1k
Location Houston, TX
Start Time 10/8/2013 5:23 AM (UTC-05:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 6.34 mi Time 00:53:25.0
Time Moving 00:53:25.0 Stopped 00:00:01.0
Average pace 08:25 min/mi Max. pace 06:09 min/mi
Weather Sunny; 54.6 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
WU 1.5 mi.
4 x 1k @ 6:46
CD 1.5 mi.

ACHIEVED
WU 1.56 mi.
642 / 645 / 640 / 629
CD 1.15 mi.

I went it this workout with far too casual of an approach and attitude. Somehow I thought cooler temperatures and "only" 4 1k repeats at 5k pace would a breeze. I'm not sure how I got to that thinking but it did not serve me well!

Also realized Garmin 110 doesn't convert pace from minutes per kilometer into minutes per mile. So I was trying to do the math in my head. The result being I was trying to run each km in 4:03 when I should have been running them in 4:13. Yes, that will make things seems a bit harder!

Notes The highly anticipated cold front actually moved in over night. It was great running in 54°F and 68% humidity. The forecast calls for the same over the next couple of days before returning to more typical Houston weather.

Body felt a little beat up today. General soreness ... all over ....
