Running…so far, March 08.

Running…so far, March 08.

The year began with a determined resolution to run consistently. As expected, things went downhill--running occasionally, 3-5 times a month, no further. But March has been very good. I had averaged between 10-12min miles last year. But now, a 13-14min mile is an achievement! Not anymore! I have been slowly building the aerobic base and am getting back to 12min per mile pace.

Mar 9-Sunday

A beautiful, sunny day. Went to dry creek with Kaya. I did not leash her. I barely ran 2 miles...
It was such a pleasure to watch Kaya run in the bright green grass, chase squirrels.

Mar 11-Tuesday

Ran during lunch abt 3 miles on my usual route on Floyd. A terrible pace, not even worth mentioning. Felt really light, but couldn’t do more than 3 miles today.

Mar14-Friday

Ran during lunch, 5 miles in little more than an hour!! Regular route, but did a 1 mile route twice to up mileage. Felt uncomfy and hungry at the outset…didn’t have any breakfast. End of 3 miles, I felt the runners high and decided to do an extra 2 miles! In total 5...and I’m getting close to 12min mile. Yipppeeeeee!
