Cool Running for the week of October 1, 2006

[ttdriver]

HAPPY OCTOBER!! Wowzer, fall is here at last (although we're still in the 90s everyday.... ) There is hope, however, that our weather will eventually HAVE to cool down!

Monday, 10/2: 6.3 miles in before work. I pushed hard for the first 3.1, with a split time of 32:58 .. took it easier on the way back though .. let the heartrate recover a bit .. but the speed work I've been implementing into my training is paying off, slow but sure.

6 days to race day!

3 miles on treadmill last night, in 25:06. Very happy with that time, 8.5 minute miles. But then its easier on the treadmill isnt it.

That's cool, Rich!! What time does yours start? Mine is at 7:00 AM Sunday at Disney, and we have to be at the starting line at 6:15. We plan to drive over Saturday afternoon to pick up the race packet (chip, tshirt, goodies, etc) and then go to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon. After the race on Sunday, we'll be going to Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival! Can't wait!

Wednesday AM: 6.3 miles before work in my fastest time, 1:04. Those fartleks are working!

Mine starts at 11:00 but have to be there at around 10:15 to register as I am entering on the day.

LOL, you are about 5 hours behind me, so in real time we will be running at around the same time.

Not sure about that Betty, I have never done a 10k before. I am expecting to finish it in around 58 minutes. My aim is to beat the hour.

Yes it is! Although we plan to go to DW today, so I'll get a little (?) walking in over there today! BUT NO RUNNING UNTIL 7AM TOMORROW!

Good luck to you in your 10k as well! I know you'll do GREAT!
