I ran the Gate River run this past weekend. I was worried about it since I was injured and under Doctor's orders of no running for 8 weeks. Plus I'd only run 3 times since December 30th and all 3 times were races. And there were two bridges in the race--1 of them huge. I told myself not to push it. Just enjoy it. And I ended up PRing my 15k time by 11 seconds!
Saturday--Gate River Run 15k--9.5 miles in 1:41:31 (Mile 1: 9:3, Mile 2: 10:21, Mile 3: 10:21, Mile 4: 10:12, Mile 5: 10:31, Mile 6:
11:24, Mile 7: 11:12, Mile 8: 11:48, Mile 9: 11:10, Mile 9-9.5: 10:28, average
pace: 10:42)
Total miles this week: 9.5
Total miles in 2014: 56.09
Total miles: 1124.08
sounds like a great weekend of running! Sometimes we need to change our mindset and just enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteCongrats! I've never run a 15K...seems like everything went well and injury free!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It did go well, although my leg hurt the day after. I'm being good and taking my full 8 weeks now!
