Running: 12/28/10

I went to the TTU running track today while away from home for Christmas.  It was 14 degrees out but I made myself get out anyway.  I needed to work off all the junk I had been eating and was about to eat.  It was a hard run, possibly because of the junk in which I had been indulging.

I set out to do 33 minutes and accomplished that goal.  Actually, my watch said 32:35 when I stopped running, but it appeared to be running very slowly, especially at first.  I think sitting out in the cold car all night effected its performance. 

In the 32:35 I did 11 laps in lane 7 of the track.  4 laps in lane 1 equals a mile, so 4 laps in lane 7 equals a little more than a mile, but I'm not sure how much more.  I'm just going to go with the 4 laps = a mile equation to be conservative.  11 laps would be 2.75 miles.  I was really pushing to keep running by the time I started the last lap but was able to find some reserve energy and really ran the last lap pretty hard.

Today's Stats:  I did 2.75 miles in 32:35 for a per mile pace of 11:51.

Next up: Another 33 minute run.
