More Late Night Miles in Vancouver
Well, I took the collar two days - Tuesday and Wednesday - but it wasn't because of malaise or any other self-inflicted malady. I'm beginning to deal with shin splints on my right leg so I decided to rest it. (At times, getting a sock on without a lot of pain was difficult and walking Tuesday morning to the SeaBus was a testy proposition.)
However, after work, calling home and getting a few things done here at the apartment in Vancouver, I headed out at a little after 11 a.m. for a late night run.
It actually went good for the most part. I ended up running for 1:06:22.71, which included a stop or two in the first half mile for stop lights and walking down the stairs near GM Place past mile 4. I think where I hit my watch was a little off on the last two splits (below) because I didn't feel like I was running a 9:13/pace ever.
1.829 miles - 17:50.42 - 9:45 pace
0.797 miles - 8:00.29 - 10:03 pace (2.626 total) ... these are on the money.
1.661 miles - 15:18.08 -9:13/pace (4.287 total)
2.030 miles - 25:13.92 - 12:26/pace (6.317 total)
1:06:22.71 - 6.317 miles - 10:30/pace
(Yikes, that's a 1:05:07 10K. I can do better than that!)
That makes 22.6 miles so far this week. Add the 6.2 on Saturday morning during the Mayfest 10K in Fort Worth and that'll give me 28.8 overall. Not too bad, although it easily could have been in the 35-37 range if my leg wouldn't have been hurting me a little bit.
However, that'll give me a goal of 31.6 for next Sunday through Saturday (and all of that will be in the heat of Houston!) I need to get to where I'm doing between 32 and 40 a week consistently. Once I get into that range consistently, I think I can start shedding a pound or two here and there.
Friday is a travel day for me. From Vancouver to Houston (landing at 2:45 p.m. Central) and then driving to Fort Worth that afternoon and early evening as Waverly competes academically in three (3) events in the Private Schools Interscholastic Association (PSIA) Class AA state championships. (I'm so proud of her, regardless of how she does, that I can't stand it!)
