Today I ran with Shelley for the second time. This time it was just a little bit cooler and I was able to make it around the park only stopping twice. Basically I ran 1 mile, walked a bit, ran the second mile, walked a bit and then ran the third mile. We completed our lap in just over 36 minutes. The best part is that the first mile was at a 12:14 Pace and that’s much faster than I usually run! Average pace over the entire 3 miles was just at 13 minutes (again, faster than my normal 13:30 pace). I hope that during one of these runs with Shelley I will run the entire lap without stopping AND keep a decent pace. Fingers crossed – and lots more training.
Shelley couldn’t stay for a second lap so I decided to walk run a little more. I did another 2 miles, mostly walking fast, but I wanted to get at least 5 miles in today.
