10 miles

This morning was supposed to be another early morning running with the local running club. But mother nature had other plans and decided to let Nic and I sleep in while it rained and rained.

We ended up heading out for my scheduled 10 mile run around 10:30 and were back to the house around Noon. The run pretty much kicked my butt as I was running (and Nic was riding) into the wind over 75% of the time.

My average pace was under my goal of 8:33, but I still don't think I will be able to tackle the Fargo Half Marathon in under 8:33 pace.  Only time will tell.  4 weeks to go...

Today's stats:
mile 1 - 8:01
mile 2 - 8:26
mile 3 - 8:34
mile 4 - 8:42
mile 5 - 8:33
mile 6 - 8:29
mile 7 - 8:30
mile 8 - 8:32
mile 9 - 8:37
mile 10 - 8:37
average pace - 8:31

All sweaty right after the 10 miler

Next Saturday I have my second official race of the season, Ronald's Run - 10 miler. Looking forward to seeing what I can do! Should give me a good idea of how fast I should be able to complete the Fargo Half Marathon - might have to reevaluate my goals.
