Sub 3 hour marathon.

Personal:

Married.  Stay at home mom.  My husband and I have 2 daughters and 4 sons.  And I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

With a seemingly impossible long-term goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, the following scriptures give me hope:

In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4

But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:25

Submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord.         Mosiah 24:15

And Ezra teaches that discipline and patience are born of disappointment.

My longest run of the season so far; I started feeling fatigued the last three miles.  Iced my legs for 10+ minutes in the tub and then stretched well.  Averaged a 9:20 pace and 159 bpm (81% mhr).

Ran the Fast Running Blog 5 Miler for Strong Families this morning.  My mile split times are as follows (8:02 average):

  1. 7:52
  2. 8:14 (started out too fast and adjusted?)
  3. 8:05 (First half 3:59 at turn around point.  Second half 4:06)
  4. 8:01
  5. 7:57

I decided not to scrutinize and record every quarter, thought it might be a bit overwhelming.  I instead did every mile.  I can see the benefit of hitting quarters on target pace, especially on a relatively flat course.  I wasn't certain that an 8 min pace (my goal) was where I should be.  I let my body feel it out and it ended up being pretty close.  It felt good to run hard today and I enjoyed seeing runners from the blog. 

At the last 5 Miler put on by Sasha and Sarah two months ago (May 9), I averaged an 8:30 mi pace.  I ran that one more evenly than today's but I'm happy with my progress.  Good race!

Iced my legs in the tub for 15 minutes and stretched well.

9:20 averaged pace for the week

Did an easy 9 miler.  Very sluggish today...I'm fighting the cold that everyone else in my family has.  Not much sleep with a sick baby.  :(

No Garmin today.  :(  The mileage should be pretty darn close, if not exact:

Warmed up 20 minutes.

Five pick-ups @ 1 minute 10 seconds each with same down time (1:10) in between.

Picked up the pace the last mile for a split time of 8:02.  First half at threshold pace and second half at VO2 Max (up-hill).

Total time 48:03

Ran an easy 15 miles at a very comfortable pace.  I didn't feel too fatigued when I finished, however, I didn't push the pace at all.  Averaged a 10:34 pace and heart rate of 145bpm (74% mhr).

Iced my legs in the tub and stretched well.  Developed a pretty good little blister, which is unusual for me.  :(
