After a couple less than stellar runs, I was really hoping my 5 miler on Saturday would go decently. And it did! The temps that morning were slightly cooler and I think that helped. I went back to my goal of keeping each mile under 14 min - I didn't quite achieve it (stupid 5th mile) but my overall average pace was under 14, so I'll take that!
Turtle Times
Mile 1 - 13:01
Mile 2 - 13:47
Mile 3 - 13:18
Mile 4 - 13:39
Mile 5 - 14:30
Total - 1:08:14 (a full minute faster than my first 5miler two weeks ago)
Avg pace - 13:39

My Friend Gerry sent me a couple of speedwork options and I think I'm going to incorporate those into my training schedule next month (once the temps go down a little bit).
I just want to continue to hit my training runs and work on my times and just do the best that I can. That way I can feel fully prepared come November 6th. As you know, I'm training for a sub 3. I really, really want it to happen - but if it doesn't, I want to know I did everything I could.

It just dawned on me that you're running the WHM!!! Me too!!!
There's always one renegade mile that pisses me off too! Glad you had a good run. Chocolate milk post run is where it's at.
Chocolate milk is so good!!! Keep it up girl!
I've been running that same pace lately. You just have to keep moving. You will train your butt off and you will meet your goal!! I believe in you!
Ps.....creeper question....is that a Tervis Tumbler in that picture ? :)
Great jog and GO HOGS!!!
Great Job! I still think it's stellar that run 5 miles. Me? Barely able to make it 2 still. oh well, someday!
I ran into an old friend and she told me she runs a 10K every day. And does a 1/2 marathon every month to keep up with running. It's a little too much for me, but goals are great. Just like your 5 mile goals!! Diggin' it.
awesome job!!! 5 miles outside in PHX heat- IMPRESSIVE!! You WILL reach your goal- I already know it!
awesome job!!!
Great job! That is awesome improvement in 2 weeks!
If you incorporate a few speed sessions the quicker paces will feel more natural
Those speed sessions will help you get faster.
Love your Razorback cup! :)
And so far, no one has emailed me any pictures of their home gym :(
Keep running, girl.
Don't let anything get in your way of a sub-3!
