Christy and I did a paced workout on Thursday and a 1-mile “run” on Saturday. I was off Friday and had an otherwise busy/fun weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to post my results until today. We ran the same path, but at different paces, so I’m not sure what Christy’s numbers were. Here are mine:
Thursday
Distance: 2.45 miles
Time: 0:30:00
Pace: 12:16/mileSaturday
Distance: 1.00 mile
Time: 0:09:56
Pace: 9:56/mileThe run on Saturday my goal was to try to run the whole mile, but with the hilly terrain and heaving in the cold air, my lungs weren’t going to have it. I walked 4 times for an estimated total of about 90 seconds just so my lungs could catch up. I’ll try to do another 1-miler this weekend without walking but conditions won’t be much better. GO AWAY WINTER!!!!
Anyway, 9:56 still ties my fastest pace since I started running in July of last year. 
Thank you @rocketear99! That truly means a lot to me!
Awesome job late last week and the weekend! Goodness winter does just need to take a hike! So proud of you tying your best! Imagine how this summer is going to be now!

@rocketear99
Thanks! Maintaining that pace is a pipe dream as I increase my miles
But that’s not my goal. I just want to get back to averaging 5 miles on my runs. That distance just felt so good to run, and it did wonders for clearing my head. I don’t care what my pace is, really. Especially now! If slowing down keeps me injury free, I’m all for it!
@missingWDW Thanks! Yeah it’s that blasted wind that really needs to stop more than anything
Our family is really kind of all over the state, but we try to limit our trips to the family in far north Jersey (some near Paramus, some near Hackettstown) mostly because of the traffic
We have family in Manchester and in Little Egg Harbor and don’t have any issues visiting either of those places. So to answer your question more directly, yes we have family relatively close to AC, but also elsewhere.
@missingwdw yea ma’am! Thank you, I will do that!
@nascfan Awesome! Well aside from the big breakfast, but now you know! Go ahead and share! I’m not doing sub 10 minute miles either
@rocketear99 Thanks! Yes so far I haven’t used any vacation yet this year because I didn’t know what my plans would be in terms of training, maybe a vacation and my parents coming to town. There may be a staycation in my future @eeyorepoohfan Oh yeah, I forgot about just getting an adjustment too
I don’t like running in the heat! The temps did jump real quick but they’re back down now. @rocketear99 Now that you mention north jersey I remember you telling me once about avoiding the Paramus visits.
I get it. Traffic.
Little Egg Harbor is about 40 mins south of me. Maybe we can figure something out
@starbee Yes! Getting adjustments makes a difference in your running!
And you were still sore from it! I hope your adjustment went well today!
So I survived my 4th LA Marathon!
My time was not what I wanted, but I’m not upset about it in any way. I was on track for my projected time until about mile 15-16 when the back of my knee started to have some pretty bad pain. (after reading up on it today, it could be from my hamstring which has given me grief for a while and obviously the longer distance just aggravated it more). I managed to push through and finish strong though (I was trucking it down the last .75!) so I can’t be mad about that.
2019 is already on the books for March 24 and you better bet that as soon as registration opens, I am IN.
