2,850 mile goal for the year: Check.
Happy New Year!
I went into last week unsure of how many miles I would get in this year amidst continuing Christmas festivities and New Years Celebrations. While I continued to indulge in the holiday junk, I also had a surprisingly great week of running. My legs felt great and all my runs felt easy and fast (holiday junk eating = faster running? :).
I ended up with 69.1 miles for the week and surpassing my goal of 2,850 miles for the year. Take that 2011.
Monday: 10 mile run in Wylie, Texas @ just under sub-8 pace.
Tuesday: 5 mile ez during lunch
Wednesday: 15.05 miles @ 8:03 pace
Thursday: 7 mile progressive tempo run
Friday: 10 mile run - 5 out, 5 back (run second half faster than first; sub 8 pace)
Saturday: 16.1 mile long run with Mick; starting at 8:30 pace and dropping to 7:15 pace. 7:50 avg pace for the run.
Sunday: 5.85 mile resolution run with the Georgetown Running Club. Ran with Rob, Allison & Justin @7:47 pace.
Happy New Year from the Ruyle's!

Nice pic of you guys!
ReplyDeleteYou outdid me...I was in bed at 9!
Great running week and happy new year to you and Dan, and the dogs :)
Awesome week of running! I think junk food makes me a better runner. :)
ReplyDeletePretty impressive list of goals for 2012 Erin - I think that the Pfitz plan is really going to pay some big dividends for you Erin - even if you just taper for Boston, that will be sure to make a big difference for you!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever need a workout partner for some of those mid-week longish tempo runs, just let me know - I use a "Marruchellaized" version of the Pfitz plan, subbing in the hill work for some of his up-tempo stuff, but our days should match up pretty well.
Take good care Erin and best of luck out in AZ!
