Shall I recap the last few months or maybe I should start off where I stand right now... Hmmm...
Well the second half of 2014 saw me joining a running group that I have kept up with since June. Not sure that my running has improved but I think it has. My longest run at this time has been 8 miles. It wasn't fun but I did it. My longest unofficial timed run was a 10k. Technically I missed the group's 10k as I was in Nova Scotia at the time. So instead I mapped out 6 (VERY HILLY) miles and made a go of it. The last official race I did was back on a cold oh so cold (20s) Saturday in November. The majority of the group did a half marathon. Let's be honest my ability to train for long distances with my work travel is hard. So I did the 5k instead. The nicest part about it - surely not the cold - was that I took a minute off my average mile pace. YAY me.
So now, I am looking to take that pace and make it a bit faster. If I can get to an average 12 minute mile pace I would be happy. In time if I could get it to 10 minutes it would be like high school again. Yeah, don't hold your breath on that one.
So today we are off to do some speed work (hopefully before the rain) to keep focusing on that goal.
As for the running group. It is in a weird state of transition at the moment. Most runners wanted to take a break after their half marathons and around the holidays. So it has dwindled down to just me and another woman that I have been running with. Even our coach seems to have lost interest. You know that's when I probably am at my best - bucking the system and all.
A new group is supposed to kick on in in a few weeks time. And they are assuming I will be there. We shall see how that goes. It is to prep for a race I am not going to do sooo.... I just don't know.
