Recovery Run: 6 miles

Sunday, 26 October 2008 | 07:31 am

Notes:
If you check the graph below, it seems as if I suffer mostly in the beginning to mid part of my run. After that, I feel like I can just go on, except for the fact that the sun blazing today. Oddly enough, compared to today, I felt better running last week during my Nike+ Women's Half Marathon challenge. I'm guessing it's because the sun didn't get too hot or intense until the last mile last weekend. Knowing that my weakness is running in the sun, I think I should just try to run about the same time as I did today — then again, I could run earlier in the morning and run faster to finish before the sun gets too hot! LOL. Anyway, average pace for this run is 12:19 minutes per mile and I burned 622 calories. I consumed about 3 Jelly Belly Sportbeans, too.

Chelsea lost to Liverpool. At home. That's all for now. Gotta post my post-running details.

Nike+ Women’s 1/2 Marathon

Sunday, 19 October 2008 | 08:14 am

Notes:
Well, I did it. I ran another 1/2 marathon without training. Though I had some pains at some point during the run, it wasn't bad enough that prevented me from finishing. It's the normal stuff you feel when your body is shocked into running long distances after weeks of inactivity, you know? LOL. This run will really motivate me to do the remaining training runs for my November 16 race! Thanks to Sheryl's awesome advice about this thing called Nuun. It kept me hydrated without sugar. Well, I got a boatload of sugar from my Sport Beans, so it was cool. My average pace was about 12:37min/mile and burned 1267 calories. I tried to keep the pace up in parts where I felt like stopping and giving up, but based on the graph below, you'll see a downward trend to my speed (or lack-thereof) lol!
