If only I could run 2.34 miles in 5 minutes.

Then my time today wouldn't seem so bad. I don't know why my times are so slow lately. I took a week off after my last 5K, but I have been going again for a week and my times shouldn't suck this bad anymore.

I ran 7.1 miles today in 1 hour 9 minutes and 24 seconds. Sadly, I ran 9.44 miles in 1 hour 14 minutes and 4 seconds just a few weeks ago in FL. So now you are thinking "but that was a race; times are always faster when you are racing." True, but the week before my race, I ran 8 miles in 1 hour and 4 minutes! Now your thinking "geeze that does suck." I would have agree with you.

There was nothing significantly crappy about today's run, it was just slow. I felt that I had a slow start, but after that, I really felt like I was moving. Oh well. I did decide yesterday that I would not let my times affect me until I'm training for a race. So, until then, today's run was pleasant.

Average Pace: 9:46 per mile. Still looking for a metronome!
Number of Intervals: 7.1 miles VSU loop
Aches and Pains: some pain in my left arch (can't wait to see my shoes again!! :-)
Breakthroughs: at a total loss...
Age of Shoes: 2 days
