You have to go. And nature sure was calling both Jason and me about 0.75 miles into our 6 mile run. The need to go, made us run a really fast 1st mile. It was all down hill from there. Jason started getting sick and we cut our run to 3 miles instead of 6. We are hoping to run the rest tonight. We will see how long it takes me to finish my portion of the group project I have in my Identification of Gifted and Talented class. Oh well. We ran 3 miles in 24 minutes and 4.27 seconds.
Average Pace: 8:01 per mile!
Number of Intervals: 3.00 miles around our neighborhood
Aches and Pains: Right leg muscles were sore.
Breakthroughs:
Age of Shoes: About 6 Months
Calories Burned: 248

LOST
I decided to map a new run on www.mapmyrun.com today. I really like this site. I can plan my runs and when I finish, I can log the run to find my average mile time and calories burned based on my personal information. However, I am not familiar with the neighborhood across from ours and I got lost. It's OK, it added a little to my run, which I did not appreciate at the time. My legs felt really tired.
I always thought that you burn the same number of calories walking a mile as you do running a mile, but time does matter. Shockingly, you do not burn more calories running faster. At some point if you run to fast, you burn less calories. I'm sure it has something to do with your heart rate and getting your body in to the fat burning/cardio sections according to those gym posters. I don't know. Maybe someday I will be interested enough to learn about it.
Anyway, I ran 5.17 miles today in 42 minutes and 10 seconds. A little slower than I had hoped, but better than yesterday so I can't be too mad. According to my training plan, I was supposed to run 5 miles fast today. I had to keep reminding myself to run fast, then try to convince my legs to do the same.
Average Pace: 8:10 per mile. Still looking for a metronome!
Number of Intervals: 5.17 mile run around the neighborhood and the neighborhood across the street.
