June Running Round-Up

Slightly belated but in the interest of accountability to myself and my faithful readers, here are how my miles played out in the bustling month of June.

Jun 2: 4 mi OT in 38:00, walk breaks second half
Jun 5: 4 mi TM in 33:33, 8:30/8:30/8:24/8:09-tightness but no real pain, fastest 4 Miler
Jun 9: 3.1 mi in 32:00, 5k race - pathetic
Jun 10: 6 mi TM in 55:33, 9:15 pace - tired
Jun 12: 2.3 mi TM in 20:00, not in a running mood
Jun 13: 1.7 mi TM in 15:00, quick interval
Jun 17: 7.5 mi TM in 68:??, 6 mi @ 9:00 pace, 1.5 slower
Jun 19: 4 mi TM in 36:57, 9:15ish pace, HILLS
Jun 23: 4 mi OT in 45:!!, lots of walking :(
Jun 24: 6.2 mi TM in 61:??, leg and shin pain
Jun 26: 3.1 mi TM in 29:49, hill intervals
Total: 45.9 miles

Even though I ran a terrible 5K, I'd like to focus your attention to June 17th's run. SEVEN and a HALF MILES! It took 2 whole episodes of Felicty on Netflix but I hit the longest distance I've ever run. This means, if I ever get up the gumption to run a half marathon, I already know what it feels like to run more than half a half. Does that make sense? I thought that was pretty cool.

And even though I didn't hit my 50 mile goal this month either, I have good news! I'm right on target to reach 500 miles by the end of the year since I've run 251 thus far in 2012. Something to hang my Brooks on.......
