Happy Earth Day!

I celebrated by going for a run on my favorite trail in between studying (yet another Anatomy & Physiology test this afternoon… never ending!).

026

Per my new half marathon training plan, I was running three miles today, and I decided to try to make them as speedy as possible!

I ended up running 3 miles in 23:52, for an average pace of 7:57!!!

Stats:

  • Mile 1: 8:09
  • Mile 2: 7:50
  • Mile 3: 7:52

Woohoo!! This was HARD — I was huffing and puffing by the end but I was NOT going to slow down! 🙂 What’s your typical running pace? Depending on the distance (and hills), I’m normally at around 8:30-8:45. In the fall I was around 9 — I’m getting faster! 🙂

I just refueled with one of my favorites — my Tuna Salad with a Healthy Twist on a whole wheat pita with some spinach:

007

And a big ole salad — classic and simple — just mixed greens, avocado, green pepper, and tomato, topped with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and some sea salt & cracked pepper. Sadly I’m out of feta 🙁 The horror!!!!

012

And now it’s time to get back to studying — but first, I’ve chosen a new winner for my Oikos Greek Yogurt & Reusable Grocery Bag giveaway!! The original winner never sent me her contact info — you snooze, you lose!!

The new winner is…

Commenter #5, Ashley!

Have a great rest of your day, everyone!

    Ah, love me some Tempo runs!! Next time, give yourself a warm-up and cool-down at a Slooow pace (so, if you're tempo pace goal is ~7:50, warm up around 9 - 9:30s) and the middle miles at a faster pace are a little "easier" to bust out! :)

    good job with the run. I managed to eek out a PR for a 5k distance the other day shaving 30 seconds off my previous record. It felt so good - well, it hurt a little but then felt good. I manage 3.1 in 23:45. Never in a million years would I have thought I could have done that. So kudos to you!!!!

    Beautiful trail! And fantastic time!! My "happy pace", the pace I fall into when I'm not paying a lick of attention, is around 11:00. I usually try to keep it in the single digits though and most my runs average around 9:30 - 10:00. I'm still trying to determine what my race pace is for different distances. I'm hoping a 10:00 marathon pace isn't too optomistic!

    Wow awesome run time! I did 3 miler this morning too and my pace was 8:44 which is up from 9:40 the first run I started tracking 8 runs ago. I'm on track for running my first 5K in under 30 minutes on 1st May!

    I'm not a very fast runner. I run at about 11min pace but I gotta say my new shoes I got suck! Since I've had them they literally have added about a minute onto each mile making me run a 12min pace! :-( I even switched back to my old shoes to make sure I wasn't fooling myself, but it's true! And my old shoes cause knee problems so I need the new ones. What's a girl to do?!!

    You are speedy! My average pace is around a 10 minute mile. Oops, I first wrote 10mph. It's definitely not that!

    I am averaging 10 minute miles right, a couple of months ago it was 11 minutes, so I'm improving! Great run by the way!

    Very impressive pace -- sub-8-min miles is very good. That kind of pace makes a relatively short run much more valuable than a longer run at a slower pace. Well done!
