Mega Running Update

So, I got a little behind on this, thankfully I have that trusty Garmin Forerunner! I love that thing. I also ran into a bit of a problem with that as the charger wouldn't charge it; I was nervous it was the watch that was shot. I called and didn't even really have to hassle around much; they sent me a new charger that took a few days to get. It was a little funny because when I got it and plugged it in, it didn't charge instantly and I took a deep nervous breath.. seconds later the charge caught. That's been the craziest experience that I can think of through all of this, except, of course the Grandma's Marathon which I'll blog about later. And the few "recovery" runs I've done since then.. you know the ones that you go really slow and feel like your hamstring is going to tear, shred, and or/pop every step?

Anyway.. are you ready for this?

Week 6: 365 Day Challenge

Day 36 (May 7): 5.45 miles in 42:39
(This was a run after a day at a Coaches Clinic a little bit later in the afternoon. I really tried to focus on just running without worrying about pace at all, and for the 1st time I really did that by myself. I had 2 miles over 8 minutes and that NEVER happens when I run. I enjoyed the light jog.

Day 37: 4.32 miles in 30:49
(It's starting to heat up in Springfield, today included. I'm not looking forward to the next few days with temperatures that could hit up to 90!!)

Day 38: 6.37 miles in 48:16. Solid run, bit of a wind.. bad time of the year for that. Up to this point, hottest run of the year.. tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

Day 39: 6.00 miles in 38:32. (6x1 mile repeats today. 90 degrees. Mega wind. Not cool. 6:26, 5:56, 6:19, 6:41, 6:38, and 6:29. Hmmm which miles were into the wind? Oh, 4 and 5. Out of gas on 6.)

Day 40: 2.14 miles in 16:16
Day 41: 6.7 miles in 44:15
Day 42 (May 13): 2.14 miles in 15:48

Week 6: 33.12 miles in 3 hours, 56 minutes and 35 seconds.
Pace: 7:08/mile

Okay, the next update is going to be HUGE from May 13th until the start of this week.. this could take awhile but I have to clear my watch out because it has so much stored on it, I believe.
