So far this month has been my best month to date. I’ve run no less than three times per week since November 28th, and most weeks I’ve run 4. So far this week I’ve run 13, and I have a 10 mile race tomorrow. That will be the single most I’ve run in a week. That’s exciting!
I ran last night as well. I feel like I’m starting to get another cold, but I felt the need to run anyways. So I made a plan to run my loop and end up at the grocery store to get some Nyquil. The plan went great and I got my sleep meds. Then when I got home I looked up the stats of my run and was shocked to see that the first three miles of my run were identical. They each took exactly 8:48. I know my pace is pretty consistent, but this blew me away. Sure it wasn’t rocket powered speed, but I’m more worried about consistency than anything else. Next spring I’ll start incorporating speed work into my routine.
