Ran 6 easy miles. I am thinking 6,4,3, then the half on Saturday to give me 25 miles for the week. It took me 1:00:35 (10:06 pace) for this 6 miler. I may jog/walk my 4 and 3, too, because my legs are tired/weak and ache, especially at night.
*** Note: Additional information to my Age Group loss at the Bethlehem UMC 5k. The guy (Martin Nagy, who some consider the best runner in Clarksville) that beat me usually would not even be in my age category. He is 48. Most races use 5 year increments; this race used 10 year. In 2009, he ran the Clarksville Half in 1:21:33 (6:13 pace) and the Boston Marathon in 2:57:19 (6:46). In 2010, he ran Clarksville in 1:16:05 (5:48) and Boston in 2:43:36 (6:14). I was hoping to do the Clarksville Half in 7:59 - that would put me almost 30 minutes behind him. It also takes me twice as long (and more) to run a marathon. ***
The above is why I am crying today. He is getting better with age, while I struggle to remain the same...
