Run those hills

Sunday morning was a great time to get up and run, run, run! I woke up early, drank some coffee, got ready, and went for a rolling hill run through the neighborhood. I am using a new app now, Nike+, and it is great! I love the achievements you can receive and how motivating it is! My run can be viewed here. I have been having issues lately with my left leg hurting...I think it is a slight nerve issue and I hope it goes away quick! I wanted to run more...but I need to run a few flat and fast courses before jumping back into the neighborhood so that I can build up my endurance.

I ran 2.02 miles in 20:36 and averaged 5.89 miles per hour and had a pace of 10:12 per mile. However, my first mile I ran in 9:52...so my goal is to stick with that pace and eventually beat it! I also set a goal to do 12 workouts in the month of September. I will challenge myself further by increasing this for the month of October and so on. My next event run will be next Friday, September 21st in the Red Dress Run on campus, it is a 5K so hopefully I will be prepared for the 3.1 mile run! The Triathlon also includes a 3.1 mile run. So, here's to the next workout! Until then...

April
