Some people amaze me when it comes to their running abilities. Take Nancy for example - I was talking with Maddie today about Nancy's 20 miler that she did the other week (Maddie biked with her to keep her company) and mentioned that she ran her last mile - her 20th mile - in under 8 minutes. Er, Nancy - seriously? You're making me look bad here!
So on today's run, a measly 4-miles, I decided to really try to push myself, using my garmin of course to help keep track of my pace. I never really push myself when running these days - I've been happy enough just to actually be running! But that has all changed, thanks to crazy Nancy. Oh, and Ike - who ran a half marathon a few weeks ago at an 8:33 pace. CRAP - I've got to kill his time!
My run stats:
mile 1 - 7:53
mile 2 - 8:09
mile 3 - 8:02
mile 4 - 7:40
4.01 miles in 31:47 at an average pace of 7:56 - that's pretty good in my book! Now, if only I can keep that up for 8 more miles...
Watch out Nancy, you won't be the only one running the Boston Marathon next year! hehe, I make myself laugh.
GOOD LUCK AT BOSTON ON MONDAY (the 19th) NANCY! You are going to rock it!!
