I Love Spring
I'm hoping that the dedicated work I've done since late January is finally paying off. Yesterday and today have felt like the runs I was hoping I'd be having by now...
Yesterday: 8.17 miles, 1:10:30, 1080 calories, average pulse 154.
Today: 5.38 miles, 44:04, 726 calories, average pulse 155.
Being able to pull 8:30 miles and not get my pulse above 160 feels really, really good and sustainable. And I've been really good about building my mileage slowly since January 24. This week I try to get to 33, but it's going to take running EARLY one morning, I'm afraid. Just not enough time in the day otherwise.
And at this rate I'll hit 50-mile weeks just about Shakespeare's birthday, which will be my first week of rehearsals for Best of PlayGround. Heh. We will have to see.
But for now I'm happy. Hoping for even more improvement in April...
