2012 Mini Training Week 1 Review

Goal: 10.0 miles
Actual: 9.3 miles

Thoughts: I think I did really well this week.  I got new shoes, did my first long runs outside even in harsh weather.  I hope that this motivation continues.  I look forward to meeting my total mileage goal for next week!

Time: 38:18
Pace:  10:56/mile
Weather: 36 degrees, mostly sunny, 20mph WSW winds
Notes: Club decided to begin run going into the wind.... good call!  First half was painful, but I had gum in my mouth so, it was kept moist even with the wind in my face.  Second half felt good.  Because the train wasn't well marked did an extra half mile... Go us!
