10.11 4 miles in am in 33:34 with my son. 7 miles pm in 50:31. 11 miles total
10.12 6 miles easy in 43 minutes or so.
10.13 2.5 miles in 15:54. 1.25 mile cool down. This was a mellow workout done while I was waiting for my son's cross country race. 3.75 miles
10.14 I wont be running the Great Bay 5k because my son has his cross country championship that day--so I decided to do a mock half marathon today around new castle and I am very pleased with the results.
I ran 13.1 miles in 1:18:01! Under 6 minutes a mile and I totally felt in command and really not very winded at the end.
Here are my splits:
6:32, 6:08, 5:54, 5:56, 5:52, 5:53, 5:53, 5:53, 5:53, 5:55, 5:58, 5:54, 5:49, last .1 in 31 seconds.
I plan on running the Seacoast Half Marathon and believe I can go under 1:15, maybe lower.
I wont run today and will take it easier this weekend. They key is not to overdo things--that is how I am getting my legs back.
10.15 40 minutes on elliptical.
10.16 10.15 miles in 67:40. I started out at 7 minute pace and slowly picked it up. Easy run.
10.17 4 miles in 30 plus minutes (Recovery day)
48 miles total
As a youth, I ran, yet I did not exist in a sense. 19 years passed. Today, I exist in one sense because I must run. Perhaps I run to escape the futility of my existence. Perhaps not. In either case, this blog, or whatever it is, will serve to chronicle my training as a runner, my development as a man, and ultimately my demise as a human, because all things pass, fade, retreat into the horizon--and while we run, as we run, the mirage that is the shimmering, glimmering future continues to assert itself just out of reach. And yet, as this picture up above connotes, it may still be beautiful. And so the question may be what is IT? What is it? What is IT?
