Run Happy

It was so nice to run this race again with Bryssa.  My legs really felt heavy especially the second half of the race.  The finish was much nicer, and next time I hope to have more energy to sprint to the finish.  I was just glad I didn't have to walk across the finish line.

Mile 1-9:50, Mile 2-10:43, Mile 3-11:08

A run in the RAIN felt good with Kara.  She gave me the best compliment ever when she said that I am running faster.  It didn't feel like it to me, but I'll take any credit I can get.  The only walking we did was the Triumph hill and the hill by the school.

Mile 1- 11:07 Mile 2- 14:35 Mile 3- 10:02

Another Launch Team practice with Jaymison.  I tried to remind her just how far she has come from her first practice. 

Mile 1- 13:44 Mile 2- 14:15 Mile 3- 16:07 Mile 4- 15:57

Our average pace was 15:57

I ran the same amount of time as I ran with the Launch Team yesterday, the same path, just this time I was on my own.  I was able to complete 5 miles at a pace of 12:10/mi.  My body really wanted to walk I pushed myself as best I could.  I was running 5 miles with Brynn before Launch team started, I thought it should feel easier to run 5.  I'm reminded of a favorite qutoe of Brad's, "it doesnt get easier you just go faster" Greg Lemond tour de france.

Mile 1- 11:04 Mile 2- 11:28 Mile 3 - 12:02 Mile 4- 12:39 Mile 5- 13:31

Launch team canyon run today.  Got to run with Jaymison.  I was able to encourage her to run a little bit further before stopping.  Still got to the bottom in walk run style.  Unfortunately my Garmin ran out of battery before the end.

The average pace for what my garmin was able to record was 13:47/ mile
