good times! I hear the RnR series are a lot of fun. Oops. I take that back. Its not the RnR. I knew that but had a brain fart. The RnR was earlier this month. http://www.chicagohalfmarathon.com/
well then this will be an utter ghetto fiasco.
i kid - it'll still be fun.

5.04KM completed Time:36:57 Pace Avg 7:06/KM Speed: 8.44km/h
Fucking first time doing it, all last week i'd hit like 4.8K and nearly pass out in the middle of the road. running at night is so werid, i just blew past the usual spot where i'd gas during the day like it was goin out of style!
you have a funny way of measuring distance.
but nice work on stretching out the run!

5.08 miles last night - did it in 44:31, so I averaged 8:45/mile. I think that's the fastest 5 miles I've ever run!

I can run a 7:15ish pace for a marathon, but the swimming part has me so far away from doing an Ironman
lol, I think it's safe to say I'm a much better swimmer than runner. Although, I'm happy to say that I'm well under 9 minute miles for all of my longer runs now, and have even dipped under 8 for my 5k's.
Should be interesting seeing how much the new bike helps you too!

fuckity fuck fuck it is hot and nasty outside. Just did 5.19 in 45:50 - I thought for sure I was running in +10m/mile range, but no! I did much better than that!

slowpoke that is awesome. and I must say you're getting into longer distances at just the right time. I find that running in cooler weather makes the runs way more enjoyable, so extend your distance as we pull through Fall. you'll be calling yourself a runner in no time. keep it up.

I second the Hal Higdon rec - I'm using a modified plan of his for my upcoming half.
Did todays 10 miler in 1:32 (9:04/m pace). On the run I saw 18 turkeys (first a group of three, then a second group of 15 all over the road). Also rescued a puppy that ran out after me into the street - there was an oncoming car that I had to stop before scrappy mcpuppy bolted toward me. It was interesting.
Great run though - same route as last week, but last week I stopped once for water/Gu at mile 5 and then stopped a ton thereafter - maybe 6 times in all. Today I didn't stop except for the puppy rescue and I skipped the Gu, just sipped water the whole way out of my hand bottle.
Half is on October 3rd, so I am feeling very ready for it. I'd like to get my time down though, so I gotta figure out how to go out at an even pace and turn it on for the second half. My pace splits this run were:
8:42 8:30 9:02 9:00 9:01 9:16 9:28 *puppy rescue 9:24 9:23 8:59 1:32 *only .18 miles

I used to do Fartlek training and track workouts earlier in year which dropped my time down quite a bit. Now I'm pretty much just focusing on longer runs and brick workouts now.

Sooooo despite not running in the past month because of my calf, I ran a 5k race yesterday with the g unit. Pulled off 23.22. Not too shabby, sore though.

9 weeks of couch to 5k training was totally worth it.
I did my first race today, 4 mile mud / obstacle course. It was pretty bad ass. I fucking busted my ass 3 different times in the mud, the mud was soo thick that my shoe would get buried and i'd bite it. Thank god for all the lunges, squat jumps and everything else i do in the gym. I rolled my ankles several times and though they are a little sore, nothing is broken / no sprain.
Anywho, my average pace is about 10 minutes a mile, i did the 4k in 44 minutes... there was alot of ponds to wade through and i had to stop and tie my shoes several times, if it wasnt for that i might have done a little better.
Before!
Final Mud Pit
10 ft from the finish line
I might have a few more pics later once the photogs start uploading their pics.
If you asked me i could have done this 1 year ago, at 340lbs i probably would of kicked you in the taint! I'm so fucking happy that i decided to turn my life around! Thanks to all of you for the support and motivation!
