I missed team workout again this weekend :[
My friend Matt was in town from Auburn, so I went out with him Friday night...staying out late Friday night is not so conducive to getting up early Saturday morning and running for 2 hours. I was going to try make up my run Sunday morning, but I was still tired! I went up to Boulder Sunday afternoon to tube Boulder Creek and tour Avery Brewery with my friends Paige and Annie and was going to run when I got home, but I was in SO MUCH PAIN from tubing over rocks that, that didn't work out well either...
And so I had to do my long run yesterday! It was terrible. I didn't wait long enough for it to cool off, so it was hot, and after yesterday I have decided I really don't do well on long runs at night. I ran 10.6 miles in 2:05:25, with an average pace of 11:49/mile, which is about 30 seconds slower than my "normal" pace. I had a really hard time pacing myself yesterday...my first mile was really fast, then for the next 3 miles my average pace was around 10:00/mile, but I slowed down significantly after that, having to walk a lot.
My goal for this week is to experiment with fartleks per my friend Andrew's suggestion! I would really like to have an average pace of around 10:00/mile and he swears this will help, so I am going to attempt it!
I am also thinking about running the Vegas Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 in December! Key word is THINKING! Andrew is running the full, and then my friends Ken and Bri are doing the half. It might be a good time!
