Comments: I went at a pretty comfortable pace, but as the training continues that pace continues to get faster, which is always great. After my run was over my legs felt a little sluggish and I developed a nice blister on a toe on my left foot, boo!
I also was told by someone much more experienced then me that I need to look into pro-nated shoes, so it's time to switch shoes up again next time around.

Comments: I went at a pretty quick pace I felt, but I started to slow as my feet became more and more soaked. By the end of the run I felt like I was running on sponges!

Route: To be mapped
Comments: We went at a pretty quick pace early on but when we hit Georgetown we hit massive tourists and got a little tired with the weaving and the heat from all the cars...we relaxed a bit going over the Key Bridge and then tried to pick it back up heading up the hills of Lee Highway but were still pretty tired. When it was over, we did 9 minute mile average and felt great about it!

Comments: Today we went on a pretty quick pace, and near the end I was feeling a bit tired. I was able to push hard and really work myself this morning. After the run I had a great protein shake and a 15 minute nap after my shower...that was amazing! No shin pain or any other pain...so I'm back to feeling great!

May 12th Pacers - Greenberry Run
Time: 42 minutes, give or take
Distance: 5.3Weather: Dry...but VERY cold
Temp: 50
Time: 5:00 AM
Terrain: Relatively flat, except the hill at the end, which is slowly becoming a cake walk!
Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/va/arlington/380123906652446749
Comments: I started pretty quick and felt like I kept up the pace the whole way through. As we got to the hill at the end I still was full of energy and finished pretty strong. I am getting really good at the short distance runs and am slowly adding some speed onto it, hopefully it translates over to the long runs!

May 9th Pacers - Long Run
Here's saturdays run, just a few days late!
Time: about 90 minutes
Distance: 5.88Weather: Humid!
Temp: 74
Time: 8:00 AM
Terrain: Relatively flat, except half way through going up and down Capitol Hill
Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-states/dc/washington/938833916090
Comments: I started out WAY TO FAST, apparently we were going at about a 7:55 pace for the first 3-4 miles, which I REALLY regretted at the end of the 10 miles. I had to walk a couple times, once at aboug 7.5 and once at 9.5ish...oh well, I will get used to the heat and learn how to pace myself better as the training moves on.

May 7th Pacers - Bagel Run
Time: 48 Minutes
Distance: 5.88
Weather: Rain stopped shortly before the run, it was amazing!
Temp: 60
Time: 5:30 AM
Terrain: Typical thursday route, relatively flat, and a killer hill at the end. All pavement!
Route: http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/va/arlington/790123945070498975
Comments: So I have run now for 3 days in a row, and boy my legs are tired! I went at a quicker pace then I'm used to, but it felt great to go that quick and just cruise, but at the end the hill seemed that much worse! When I am going at a slightly slower pace the hill beats you up but I really feel like I am conquering the hill because I am almost done and I still have energy, whereas today...I was counting the steps until I reached the top of the hill and the end of that run! So tomorrow I get an extra 2 hours of sleep and wake up at 6 rather than 4...CAN'T WAIT!
