It was raining and the entire radar map was green. Oh well, what are you going to do but put on a rain jacket and head out!

My 5K pace I was targeting was 9:30-9:40. I am still having trouble hitting that pace. As my laps show, I was too fast at the beginning and too slow at the end (story of my running life).

My goal race pace is 11:00 so I was trying to hit a 10:50-11:10 range. After I hit it the first mile, I thought I had it and went at the pace my body seemed to be comfortable. I must have been running at a much faster pace than I thought last week, because I realized my goal race pace is slower than my body thought. It wasn't a super easy pace, but I was definitely comfortable. When I noticed it was a bit too fast in the second mile, I tried to slow down but my body said, "No thanks. This is the pace I want to run today!" and I could not slow down a little. But I came close. I'll get it eventually!

Because the afternoon was supposed to be cool (it actually got warmer than predicted), we took Django to Linn Run State Park in the Laurel Highlands. We met up with Django's greyhound buddies, so it was a fun little hike through the woods and in the water.
I cut off my head because I had a really wacky expression but wearing Lululemon Cadet Static Wave (I think) Cool Racerbrack & Bruised Berry Wunder Under Crops. Django explores the water. |

Sunday: Easy run | 3.01 miles; 34:46; 11:34 pace
I realized I haven't been running any hills recently, so I went across the 31st Street Bridge and back for two long, gradual inclines.

I was away all day today at a family party so haven't been able to do my abs and push-up...and now it's almost time to go to bed. Gah! I'll get back to my abs and push-ups tomorrow.
Happy running and working out this week!
