Training runs for the week of 2010-02-14

It has been a pretty hectic week. Dental, orthodontists, pediatrician, and doctor appointments with only one vehicle is not fun. My 13 year old Honda's starter decides to give out. I'm not complaining about he car. It has been very good to us. This is the first major repair that I have done to it in 3 or 4 years. Good thing out of this is that I finally used the tool set Michelle bought me for Christmas!!

As I have another half marathon race tomorrow,
Run the Line, I continued my training runs this week. I may do a 2 miler today.

An easy 3.1 mile run


I ran an easy 3.16 miles in 26 min 14 sec @ 8:18 min/per mile pace. This was my first run since the 10k race (Fort Worth Club Einstein) on Sunday. My run was interrupted for about 40 seconds; a large pit bull got loose from its owner and ran after me. I waited for it to get a couple of whiffs of me before it let me continue on.

Enjoyed the weather; it felt like spring. The weather was cloudy and the temperature was around 58 degrees. Tomorrow will be crappy; rain and possible "winter mix" on Friday morning.


1. 8:26.77, 08:26.77, 1 mi 8:27 / mi.
2. 8:25.80, 16:51.87, 1 mi 8:25 / mi.
3. 8:08.31, 25:00.18, 1 mi 8:08 / mi.
4. 1:14.60, 26:14.78, 0.2 mi 7:54 / mi.

Due to family commitments, I will not be able to run in the Lake Benbrook Half Marathon this Saturday. Good luck to everyone!!
