Note that this week I put my long run as fast miles :)

I was in Myrtle Beach for vacation and decided to do an out and back on Ocean Blvd.  So I took my Nike+ and used that for mileage... it is usually pretty accurate.

My first 5 mile split was 41:30 which was exactly where I wanted to be.  I was going to just pick it up the last 2 miles but after I turned around I felt great and decided to see what I can do.  The faster I went, the more excited I got, making me go even faster.  The end result: 34:30!!!  So if it was an even 5 miles that would be under 7 minute pace, and under 8 for the entire 10.

This was by far my best "mid-long" run ever.  Things are really coming together and I just hope I can stay quick, healthy and keep getting stronger for my upcoming races, especially the marathon.

 

 

Current Race Schedule:
