The bar has been set.
I went for a 3-mile tempo run with Ruth (friend and run club coach) on Thursday. I was shooting to run a 9:30 pace.
Ha. HA HA HA.
We ran a 9:01 average pace.
I'm as shocked as you are.
Mile 1: 9:11. Faaaak. This is fast. But wait. I ran a 9:01 mile for the 3rd mile during the tri. I guess I can do this.
Mile 2: 9:05. This is haaaard. Hey, I wonder if I can do a Nitmos Style "Limbo Run"...
Mile 3: 8:49. Lungs. Burn. Hurt. Fast. Tired. Gah. Waaaait. I Totally Limboed this run! This is FUN. 9:01 pace? That's not so bad. :)
And since Coach Ruth was a witness, she tossed out a challenge. Sustain a 9-minute pace for the Victory 10k on September 1.
This is going to be tough. Bring on the speed work!

Whoa. Holy Flash AllyCat. Well played!
9 minute pace? very sick. You girls need to buy some ice cream and spend a few weekends watching the Lifetime Channel.
Sweeet!
I am so happy for you!
(To self, "Crap, I better be getting on my speed work or Allycat will be kicking my ass soon!)
Did I mention how happy I am for you?

WOW - run Allison, run!! :)
Sweet. How good does that feel?
NICE RUN!! You can totally rock that 10K!!
And yes, even I would tap that.
;)
woooo....speedy! :)
Have to say that I thought some of Skinny Bitch was good and some was just too much.. I mean I think it's a little weird to swear off meat in favor of chemically made frozen food.
That being said, it's always good to get a kick in the pants to eat more fruits and veggies which is largely what it did for me.
Who fast ... You fast!
Wow, and negative splits too. Nice job!
Dude, AWESOME!!!!
