better

Last night I was not able to make the group run in Central Park. So I decided I really needed to continue making Tuesday night a really hard effort and I think I set a new 4 mile PR! I ran my usual 4 mile loop and took a few walk breaks as I planned. For the first time EVER for a run over one mile (my one mile PR is 9:17 but I do think I might be able to do better than that now) my per mile average pace started with a 10!! I still have a way to go to meet my goal of running a 30 minute 5K but at least I felt a little bit of progress.

Next week we are having our "halfway there" party. I am really looking forward to spending some sedentary time with the folks on the team. Soon after that will be the 18 mile Marathon "Tune Up" run in Central Park. Last year I did my 18 miler at home and gladly missed out on the pouring rain that fell on my brave teammates.

Tonight I had planned to run a 7 miler but life got in the way. So I will do it tomorrow. Time for bed!
