Well, I've been mia for a few days. I went home to Washington for the weekend. I got in a few decent runs. Not as far as I wanted to go but I'll take it. I didn't get much homework done. I have a hard time focusing when I'm at home. I did finish one problem for diff eq theory. It took me a total of 5 hours to do the problem but I did it. Now, I have to do two more of the same problem and type it up before Friday!
I was not happy with my running last week. I logged somewhere around 32 miles. I had planned on running 40 but had to cut a few runs short. Most of the runs were slower than I wanted them to be. On the plus side. I transitioned to running 6 days per week, instead of 5, without injuring myself. Anyway, here are today's stats:
Distance: 4
Time: 28:18
Avg Pace: 7:04
The workout was a 4 mile pick up. I started slow, ~8:30 pace, for the first quarter mile. The first mile passed at 8:03. Then I picked it up. Didn't think I picked it up that much but the next mile came in 6:58. The final two were 6:49 and 6:27! I was very happy with today's run. If it is any indication, this is going to be a great week. Oh, today is the first week of my training cycle for my half marathon. If all goes well, I should have 41 miles at the end of the week. Now I'm off to get some Starbucks and work on my diff eq hw.
great pick up workout! i'm the opposite when i go home: i am wicked productive because i want to stay away from the chaos that is my house haha. and i feel your pain with the 5 hour diff eq prob. i've had many a problem with some phyiscs before and it sucks hardcore. granted youre 100000x more advanced than me but still... :)
