Running With Jack

When I came home from work yesterday I decided to run a shorter run to loosen up and leave some of the stress from work outside. I set out at a comfortable pace, running the first kilometer in 5:25 (8:43/M) and the second about the same. Then I decided to pick up the pace for a few minutes, so ran the 3rd kilometer in 5:07 (8:14/M). This felt good, I’m sure I could have finished my run at this pace, but I have a race on Sunday, so I slowed it back done to an easy pace. I ran about 8.5K/5.3M in 48:47, for an average pace of around 5:44/K (9:14/M) for the distance.

Today (Saturday) I feel lazy, it is the first weekend that I haven’t done a long run in awhile. I spent most of the day working in my woodworking shop, there is always something to do.

Tomorrow morning my half-marathon starts at 9 a.m., I’m ready to give it my best shot! I’ll let you know how it goes.
