5K for Orphans Training: Week 7/Race Week!

This Week's Runs
25 min. runs

Walk: (6/19) Gorgeous morning for a run! Rain really cooled it off...now if only it would stay this nice. Today was another 25 min run. I took a 30 sec walk break in the last 10 min. No more runs until rac day - Saturday.

Average Pace: 17:33 minutes/mile
Mileage: 2.2 miles

RACE DAY!!!

Week 7, Run 1: (6/21) Great run! 51:28. Wanted to finish in 52 so I beat my goal! Woot! I ran a 5k! I walked a little more than I would have liked, but I did try to only walk for 30 seconds at a time...towards the end I walked a little longer, but I wanted to make sure I finished the race strong and running. For more about the race and race day, see "Post-Race Day Re-Cap".
Average Pace: 16.47 minutes/mile
Mileage: 3.24 miles

Taking two days of rest before running again. Next run will be Tuesday, then I'll get back to running 4 days/week. Rest Day: (6/22)
Rest Day: (6/23)

Next time I run I think I'll be working on running for longer periods of time. This week's runs are 25 minutes straight of running, but I think I might jump back a step and work on running 20 minutes straight, once I've mastered that, then I'll bump myself back up to 25 and then 30 minutes.

THIS WEEK'S PROGRESS

Total miles logged this week: 5.44 miles
Total miles logged YTD: 58.1 miles
