4 miles, at an easy conversational pace
i went on a nice 4 mile run before work, and enjoyed going around the park in Williamsburg. the weather was warm, and i really enjoyed the run. i didn't even feel the distance.
when i got back from my run i mapped my route and discovered the little love heart i tracked through the park. happy valentines day!
Friday: 15/2/13
2 miles @ an easy, conversational pace including Cross Training
arms are getting stronger, but i do feel the buurrrrnn when picking up the run after doing my arm dips, press ups, and plank.
Saturday: 16/2/13
6 miles @ E pace.
i ran along the ocean front in atlantic beach, long island. the weather was cold and windy, with sandy, rocky terrain due to debris left from hurricane sandy. i found the run tough and tiring, perhaps due to the wind factor. i couldn't wait to get back inside and take a hot shower.
but this is the first 6 miler i've ever done... so HURRAY TO THAT!!! completed it in 1hr 10mins
Total mileage for the weekend: 15 miles

due to snow and ice still on the ground i was unable to run. also recovering from a heavy weekend, with the brighton college old brightonians new york dinner, i am still feeling rather delicate!

3 miles total, including the Speed and Form session at central park.
getting warmed up for tonight's training session was difficult. having not run in almost 4 days my body has got out of shape already. the sides of my ankles and calves feel sore and slightly stiff.
we were to run four x 800 meters with a rest in between. this was a max work out so had to push the run as fast as could. we were timed for each of the runs. we were given estimated/ calculated times that were for us to aim toward. my time was 9:03.
my actual times were as follows:
run 1: 8:54 sec
run 2: 9:02 sec
run 3: 9:15 sec
run 4: 9:25 sec
the resting in between each split was hard, and made the fatigue stronger on each run. i'm glad that my pace was gradual and didn't stray too much from my given times.
