There is a huge neighborhood right behind my office, so I packed up my gear during lunch and decided I'd run as soon as I got off work.
My training schedule called for 4 miles. I started out at a faster than average pace, mostly because I was hungry and wanted to get home. When it was all said and done, I ran my 4 miles in 32 minutes.
That's an 8:00/mile. That's abnormally fast for me! And I felt great when I was finished; not tired or winded at all. I still can't believe it...
The next race on my calendar is the Rodes City Run, a 10k at the end of March. I guess the question is: can I maintain that kind of pace for 6.2 miles? 
That's awesome, that is so fast! I'm sure you will do great in the 10K!
ReplyDelete:) thanks! I hope I can keep it up!

ReplyDeleteThat is really an awesome pace! I'm a 9-10 minute mile kind of gal, but I would love to be able to run like that some day! Any tips on upping speed? I am working on speedwork now but I hate it!!
