Just got back from the Arboretum, where I did a 6 miler in 1:03:48 for an average pace of 10:37 (GPS info here). Normally I would run anything over 50 mins at a little slower pace (closer to 11:00), but I was followed by a woman in her 40's and I wasn't about to let her pass me. The Arboretum is a lot hillier than I remember; it's tough to keep your heart rate down when you're constantly going up and down hills. Tomorrow I'll do a nice, short 3 miler on a flat route, and hopefully I can have a similar pace but keep my heart rate closer to 150 bpm the entire time.
This run puts me at 18 for the week, so I'm almost to my desired mileage of 25 miles a week. I'll probably start hitting that mark in August, and then I can really start working on my speed a bit more.
I'm still new to this blogging stuff, so leave me comments with suggestions about what you'd like me to write about.
